Nigeria have been quick to play down talk of a rift with Berti Vogts after he delayed his arrival to the country.
The former Germany and Scotland boss had been expected to fly in on Tuesday in order to begin preparations for The Super Eagles' upcoming clash with Uganda.
It had been thought contract issues were behind the delay, but NFA official Tunde Aderibigbe has explained all payments have been made.
"There is no problem with the contract whatsoever. The money was wired to his account in Germany on Monday," said Aderibigbe.
"Vogts called the NFA chairman yesterday to say he would not be coming as earlier planned because of personal reasons.
"Vogts said we should not panic about our match against Uganda because the delay will not affect his programme in any way."
