It’s been reported that Stephen Keshi has not been paid since he led the Super Eagles to AFCON glory in February but he is yet to lodge an official complaint.
The Nigerian Football Federation in an interview with BBC Sport said they have everything under control.
“Between the Federation and the coaching crew, we don’t have a problem,” said NFF general secretary general Musa Amadu.
“Obligations to the coaching crew are always settled, and we have the understanding of the coaching crew in this regard.
“We’ve been working together with Stephen Keshi since November 2011 and he knows the peculiar situation [financial problems] of how things are with the Federation.
“We try as much as possible to pay our obligations, likewise the coach, and we’ve had a very good working relationship.
“I know the coach will not bring to the fore any such matters,” he added.
“Perhaps there are people out there that want to capitalise on such matters to create problems between the Fderation and the coach, but I know that obligations to the coaching crew are always settled, and we do have the understanding of the coaching crew in this regard.
“We appreciate that understanding and right now the focus is not about what is being written in the media but it is on the CHAN qualifiers.” Amadu concluded.
