Nigeria Premier League (NPL) club, Niger Tornadoes owe their players five years worth of their financial entitlements.
The club, which have not been enjoying the best of results on the pitch this season, have not paid signing-on fees to players since 2007.
This much was revealed by Niger State sports commissioner, Hassan Abdullahi.
Abdullahi told SuperSport.com that the sponsors of the club were forced to dissolve the previous management board because of "financial indiscretions."
"We noticed a lot of financial indiscretions with the past management which was why the board was dissolved," he said.
The commissioner however revealed that the players have been paid salaries and bonuses regularly.
"For bonuses and salaries, we have no issues. None of our players can express any complaints as far as that is concerned," he stressed.
Abdullahi concluded with a promise to the players that their outstanding entitlements would soon be paid.
"At the moment, we are working on modalities to clear the outstanding money and I am sure we will achieve an appreciable measure of success in that regard.
"Very soon, as soon as we get the executive council (in Niger State) approval, we will commence the process of payment to the players," he said.
