Strike stops top Nigerian coaches from writing CAF A licence final exams

Nigeria’s top coaches, who have been working on bagging CAF A licences, could not sit for a final examination on Thursday in Abuja, after the instructors allegedly embarked on a pay strike to protest against non-payment of their allowances.

The CAF A licence course is scheduled to end on Saturday (tomorrow) and it features some of the country’s notable coaches including the Super Eagles chief coach, Salisu Yusuf, Samson Siasia, Manu Garba, Emmanuel Amuneke, Gbenga Ogunbote, Stanley Eguma, Henry Abiodun and Ladan Bosso.

The coaches were all shocked when the instructors told them that the examination has been postponed without any cogent reason.

The instructors are all former national team coaches – Adegboye Onigbinde, James Peters and Kashimawo Laloko.

However, a source revealed to AfricanFootball.com that the instructors opted to postpone the examination because they have not been paid and they wanted that to be done before the programme is rounded off to avoid “stories” thereafter.

It was also gathered that the NFF received between N250,000 and N270,000 from the participants.

The payments were directly into the NFF bank account.

The coaches may now sit for the examination on Saturday (tomorrow) if the instructors get their pay.
