The U-23 National team's coach was joined by his wife Eunice for the visit and at the meeting the minister disclosed to Siasia that he's charged the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, to pay him his outstanding salaries.
"Please pay him his five months' salaries,'' Dalung said. ''They said he has resigned but he just said that his contract expired after the Olympics. His contract expired but you are owing him 5 months' salaries and you have gone to employ a foreign coach and will pay him in dollars. It means you don't like yourselves and nobody will sympathize with you. Please spare me the stress of talking about this salary issue or going to war with you on it. Please pay him and other coaches their outstanding salaries.''
Also present at the meeting was the Secretary-General of the Nigeria Football Federation Dr Sanusi.
On Sanusi's part, he said, "We have held meetings and we are waiting for the money to drop. The money is already there in our account but we need to regularize the TSA procedures before we can claim the money. We are almost through with the process. Once that is concluded, we will pay them.''
