2025 AFCON: NSC Explains Why Super Eagles’ Bonuses Were Delayed
About The Author
The Chairman of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Shehu Dikko, says the delay in the payment of bonuses to the Super Eagles at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) was due to bureaucratic bottlenecks.
However, the NSC chairman said the money has been released and is being “processed”.
“The NFF, the Sports Commission, the Presidency, the Minister of Finance, and the CBN are all involved. Fundamentally, the money for this AFCON is approved and being processed through the right channels. It’s a matter of timing,” he said on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily.
“But approving the money is different from getting the money out. It takes time for the money to be processed through Finance, the Office of the Accountant General, and the CBN.”
