Super Eagles captain Wilfred Ndidi has pledged to personally clear outstanding match bonuses for players and officials at the ongoing 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco if the Federal Government does not fulfill its promise before Saturday’s quarter-final encounter against Algeria.
Ndidi’s position was made public on Thursday by BBC journalist Oluwashina Okeleji, following assurances from the Federal Government that payments would be expedited between Thursday and Friday through the Office of the Minister of State for Finance, Doris Uzoka-Anite.
According to Okeleji’s post on X, the Leicester City midfielder said he took the step to ensure the team’s focus remains intact ahead of the crucial fixture.
“I’ve been pushing the team to train and play the game vs Algeria. I’ve been doing this since the second game. I’ve now made a commitment to the staff and players that I’ll personally pay the bonuses if the authorities fail to before Saturday,” Ndidi said.
