“We owe our hotels and traveling agencies over N600m, but I always want to guarantee the payment. So, it’s been very tough, but Nigerians don’t understand.

“Right now our sponsors are not paying on time because of the economic challenges. One of our sponsors is owing us about $6m and because of the business they do and the relationship, we have to understand. That money would have solved most of our problems.

“Some sponsors have even called us to renegotiate the terms in the contract, saying they can’t meet up and we understand.

“For example, our budget to the government annually is over N800m.”
