The Nigeria Football Federation has paid the Super Eagles players and officials their full match bonus for Monday’s feisty 2018 FIFA World Cup encounter against the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon in Yaounde, even though the tie ended in a draw.

NFF President Amaju Pinnick revealed this to the team that flew the Nigerian delegation back from Yaounde on Tuesday morning.

According to a media release from the communications department of the NFF, the players and officials were excited and applauded the gesture from the body.

Pinnick also added that NFF 1st Vice President, Barrister Seyi Akinwunmi will travel to Uyo this week to see the Governor of Akwa ibom, Udom Emmanuel as nothing will be left to chance in their preparation for the game in October against Zambia.
