Super Falcons' Coach Edwin Okon Bemoans Unpaid 25 Months Salaries by T4taiwo(m): 11:46am On Oct 26, 2014 |
The Title winning tactician has expressed his disappointment over his inability to access his salaries in more than two years as a national team coach. Nigeria senior women's national Team head coach Edwin Okon says he is yet to receive any salary since he was engaged 25 months ago. Okon, who is also the head coach of Rivers Angels of Port Harcourt, led the Super Falcons to emerge champions for the seventh time at the African Women Championship in Namibia on Saturday evening. He replaced Kadiri Ikhana in August 2012 after he steered the Falconets to a fourth-place finish at the 2012 Fifa U20 Women's World Cup in Japan. Okon lamented the unfair treatment suffered in the hands of his employers after not getting a dime since that tournament ended. "Since August 2012 when I led the Falconets to the World Cup where we came fourth, up till today, I'm yet to get a dime as salary from the NFF," he told media. "Every time I go to the office to complain, they will say there is no money. “At a time I learned that the Federal Government gave the federation some money to pay [former men's senior team coach Stephen] Keshi and other national team coaches, but up till today my story is still the same," he concluded. Okon’s ladies successfully redeemed the image of the country at the biennial eight-nation tournament where they defeated Cameroon 2-0 and also qualified for the 2015 Fifa Women's World Cup in Canada. Nigeria alongside neighbours Cameroon and Cote d'Ivoire will represent Africa at the World Cup. Source: www.goal.com/x/en-ng/news/5492531 |
