However, in a statement attributed to the federation’s general secretary, Mohammed Sanusi, the country’s football regulatory body dismissed the charges as “ridiculous.”
“Most of these speculations and innuendoes are simply ridiculous because we have no problem whatsoever with Mr. Peseiro,” the statement read.
“He is doing his job as head coach of the Super Eagles, and, contrary to some of the more fictitious claims, he has not reported the NFF to Fifa with regards to his wages.
“I want to appeal to the media to make efforts to get their facts right before going to press. There is no need to speculate and engage in half-truths and outright falsehoods in these matters.
“Some of these speculations and innuendoes create disharmony and disenchantment in key quarters. The NFF and the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports Development are working on Mr. Peseiro’s wages, and these will be settled shortly.“JAMB Result
