Sunday Oliseh has said
he quit as Nigeria coach in the interest of the country. After announcing his
resignation on twitter in the wee hours of yesterday, the former Ajax
midfielder has turned in his resignation letter, which was addressed to General
Secretary of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Mohammed Sanusi, and dated
February 25, 2016.
“Your contractual violations and the interest of the nation necessitates that I
tender my resignation and recourse to the termination of our working
agreement,” the resignation letter read in part. A rented apartment in Abuja
promised he and his two assistants after he was appointed in July 2015 has yet
to be fulfilled. He is also owed four months’ salary, while his assistants are
also being owed for several months.
He further accused the
Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) of not giving him enough support to prepare
the team for next month’s all-important AFCON qualifiers against seven-time
champions and qualifying group leaders Egypt. He said he received “so little
help” from the NFF and has been soldering on under “unconducive working
conditions”.
