The General Secretary of the Nigeria Football Federation, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, has confirmed that the Federation is owing late Coach Shaibu Amodu two months salary.
Sanusi made this revelation on the football house official twitter handle, @thenff, on Monday.
According to him: “Every member of NFF Management is being owed salaries for two (2) months. The NFF will pay all monies due late Amodu to his family.”
Amodu until his death last Saturday was the Technical Director of the Nigerian Football Federation.
The late coach managed BCC Lions, El-Kanemi Warriors and Shooting Stars.
He also managed Orlando Pirates in South Africa.
He first managed the Nigerian national team from April 2001 to February 2002.
The four-time Super Eagles coach, who was laid to rest in his hometown, Okpella, Edo State was said to have complained of chest pain on Friday night and died in his sleep.
Meanwhile, Orlando Pirates have expressed their sadness at the passing of their former coach.
Amodu, 58, coached Pirates in the second season of the Premier Soccer League in 1997/98.
Bucs, in a statement on their website, said: “Orlando Pirates management and the extended Bucs family would like to extend its heartfelt condolences to the family of Shaibu Amodu who has passed away.
“Though from Nigeria, Amodu is no stranger to South Africa having been an assistant coach and then a head coach of the Mighty Buccaneers in the late 90s.
“Since leaving the Club, Amodu went on to become coach of the Nigerian senior national team. At the time of his death, Amodu was the Technical Director of the Super Eagles.
We convey our heartfelt and deepest sympathy to the Amodu family and pledge our profound moral support. We supplicate that God gives you fortitude at this moment of your extreme grief and pain.
“MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE.”
