The Nigeria
Football Federation will pay players and officials a total of $2.4 million as a
bonus for securing qualification for the World Cup in Russia, a spokesman has said.
The NFF have also agreed other payments
and benefits to the team to avoid a pay row that marred Nigeria's participation
at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Next year's World Cup will be Nigeria's
sixth appearance at the global finals and they have reached the knockout rounds
three times, in 1994, 1998 and 2014.
Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain will bid to open
up a nine-point lead at the top of Ligue 1 when they face reigning French
champions Monaco on Sunday, brimming with confidence after their
Neymar-inspired thrashing of Celtic.
PSG
saw a run of four consecutive titles ended by Monaco last season but, boosted
by the signings of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, have been rejuvenated this season.
PSG will take on Bayern on December 5,
needing only to avoid a four-goal defeat to wrap up top spot in Group B, after
their stunning 7-1 victory over Celtic on Wednesday saw them smash the previous
group-stage goals record with 24 in just five games.
