The report said that plans are underway and the Nigeria Football Federation would settle the club soonest for the Aiteo/Federation cup they won two months ago.
According to the Media officer of the club, Rilwanu Idris Malikawa, the information reaching the Nigeria Giants is that, the Federation would released the said money to the Sai Masu Gida any moment from now.
Malikawa further explained that from the recent information the club got, delayed in the payment of the prize money is not intentional but due to some issues beyond the Federation’s control.
