NFF and Players Sign Bonus Agreement for World Cup
From KOC's twitter
BREAKING: NFF, Super Eagles players have signed an agreement on payment of World Cup bonuses and allowances on Tuesday.
In other words, there will be no bonus row from Nigeria at #Russia2018. First country to do so

This is major. Make this tori nor worwor later. FA Pay up when due, players don't demand more when you advance to stages you didnt think you would.
If this is not an issue, the sky is the limit for this unit.

NFF AND SE SIGN BONUS AGREEMENT
NFF, Eagles sign landmark agreement ahead Russia 2018
Agreement Krasnodar2
A historic and binding agreement that will eliminate all manner of rancour and distractions around Nigeria’s preparation and participation at the 21st FIFA World Cup finals in Russia was signed in the Russian city of Krasnodar on Tuesday morning. The meeting to prepare the agreement was held on Sunday night in the same city.
NFF President Amaju Pinnick, Vice Presidents Seyi Akinwunmi and Shehu Dikko, General Secretary Mohammed Sanusi and Technical and Development Committee chairman Yusuf Ahmed Fresh represented the NFF, while Technical Adviser Gernot Rohr, Chief Coach Salisu Yusuf, Team Administrator Enebi Achor and Captain Mikel John Obi, Ahmed Musa, Kenneth Omeruo and William Ekong stood in for the team.
Before the meeting, Pinnick, who made an impressive remark at the FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour that made a stop in Krasnodar on Tuesday, told thenff.com that the NFF was determined to, with the single agreement, put behind it all the crises and confrontations that had bedevilled African teams’ participation at the FIFA World Cup in the past.
At the end, NFF 2nd Vice President/Chairman of Strategic Committee Shehu Dikko confirmed to thenff.com: “We have done it; we have concluded negotiations and come to agreement with the team as regards bonuses, allowances and share of income from FIFA for the 2018 World Cup. Every detail has been agreed on match bonus for each match and each round up to the Final as well as share of income from FIFA money for each round until the stage we are able to get to at the finals.
“We also agreed on preparation, such as how much players will be paid for the friendly matches, including how and when the monies would be paid. We even delved into how the NFF would apply the funds due to it from FIFA after paying the players their share.”
Pinnick and Sanusi signed for the NFF while Gernot Rohr and Salisu Yusuf signed for the technical crew and Captain Mikel Obi and Ahmed Musa signed for the players.
“The agreement represents the full and final understanding between the NFF and the team for the 2018 FIFAWorld Cup Russia and not subject to review or negotiations, except there is a review by FIFA of what it has approved and published as prize money for the participating countries.
“We have opted for this international best practice in order to fully motivate the team and ensure there are no distractions or discontent before and during the tournament,” Dikko added.
It is the first time in the history of Nigeria’s participation in international championships that a formal agreement between the Federation and the team is documented, and the major actors see this as a catalyst for the Super Eagles’ best performance ever at the FIFA World Cup. It can also be recalled that the NFF ensured there was no distraction over bonuses and allowances for the team during the qualifying campaign, with the Super Eagles easily dominating a so –called ‘Group of Death.’
“We are very happy and excited with this development. This is the first time since I started playing for the senior team that I would see everything regarding preparation and bonuses and allowances put down in black and white and a binding agreement executed. It is reassuring that we now have a Federation leadership so committed to making everything work that they arranged this meeting and allowed the players to contribute and then set out to sign the agreement,” Captain Mikel Obi said.
It would be recalled that at the last FIFA World Cup finals in Brazil, the Super Eagles missed a training session in protest over bonuses and allowances and share of the income from FIFA, forcing the Federal Government to dispatch then Sports Minister Tammy Danagogo to Brazil with millions of dollars in cash.
A similar situation played out in the camp of Ghana’s Black Stars, and back in 2006, the camp of the Togolese National Team was torn by disputes over bonuses and allowances.
Pinnick later told thenff.com: “We communicated the Honourable Minister of Sports on the negotiations and he endorsed the agreement on behalf of the Government. He also applauded the NFF for the bold step to sort out all issues that could militate against Nigeria having a great outing at the World Cup finals in Russia next year

Re: NFF and Players Sign Bonus Agreement for World Cup
The report seems to indicate that we are the FIRST country to do so. So, if it has taken us "this long" to sign a bonus Agreement for a world cup that is 7 months away. What would be said of the other 31 teams?Bell wrote:GREAT, BUT HOW CAN ONE NOT ASK...

platinum & danfo driver, PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT...
...match bonus is not an issue in most of the countries. That's why you don't hear about it. Even many on this board have been calling for it for decades. Little things like this project a professional environment which is good for attracting coaches, players (born overseas), sponsorship, news coverage, respect, et al.

Nigeria signs bonus contract with players ahead of 2018 WC
The Nigeria Football Federation has signed a contract with the Super Eagles players detailing how much they will earn in bonuses at the FIFA World Cup in Russia next year.
The deal was signed in Krasnodar, Russia on Tuesday morning before Nigeria later beat Argentina 4-2 in an international friendly in the same city.
The agreement is expected to militate against bonus agitations which have characterized African teams’ at the world cup.
Nigerian players missed a training session at the 2014 world cup over bonus row with the NFF while Ghana’s participation at the same tournament was disrupted over bonus payments.
Speaking after the deal was signed, NFF 2nd Vice President and Chairman of the Strategic Committee, Shehu Dikko said:
“We have done it; we have concluded negotiations and come to agreement with the team as regards bonuses, allowances and share of income from FIFA for the 2018 World Cup.
Every detail has been agreed on match bonus for each match and each round up to the Final as well as share of income from FIFA money for each round until the stage we are able to get to at the finals.
“We also agreed on preparation, such as how much players will be paid for the friendly matches, including how and when the monies would be paid. We even delved into how the NFF would apply the funds due to it from FIFA after paying the players their share.”
Pinnick and Sanusi signed for the NFF while Gernot Rohr and Salisu Yusuf signed for the technical crew and Captain Mikel Obi and Ahmed Musa signed for the players and will not be subject to renegotiation.
Mikel Obi later told the thenff.com: “We are very happy and excited with this development. This is the first time since I started playing for the senior team that I would see everything regarding preparation and bonuses and allowances put down in black and white and a binding agreement executed.
It is reassuring that we now have a Federation leadership so committed to making everything work that they arranged this meeting and allowed the players to contribute and then set out to sign the agreement.”

Knowing NFF, they may promise what they cannot pay! Oil price with drop and NFF will use that as an excuse for not paying! Just check government not paying workers salaries
Knowing the players, they may change their mind when they hear what others are collecting or what NFF officials stand to gain.
A lot more work to be done
