President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick, has confirmed that the Super Eagles technical adviser, Gernot Rohr, and players would be paid in naira whenever they play in Nigeria.
Pinnick made this known in an interview on Channels Television, where he also disclosed that they have concluded all modalities to ensure that the German tactician put pen to paper before the expiration of his current contract in the summer.
“When they play in Nigeria, their bonuses will have to be in Naira. When they play abroad, we pay them in dollars, but that can even change,” Pinnick explained during an interview on Channels TV.
“Like I said, we are going to make many difficult decisions that will go across the board because we need to promote our fiscal policy.
