After meeting with top officials from the Glass House last week, Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, has approved the release of cash to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).


The money is to be used to offset bills, as the Super Eagles prepare to take on African champions Cameroon, in a crucial 208 World Cup qualifying double-header in August.

"The NFF have the cash for the World Cup qualifiers against Cameroon thanks to the generosity of the federal government.

"The NFF also got the cash for the AFCON qualifier against South Africa and had the Eagles won, they would have been paid their win bonus immediately after the game," a top official said.
