Malik Jabir appeals to Ghana Prez. Akuffo-Addo on three years unpaid salary

Former Black Meteors coach Malik Jabir has appealed to the government for the payment of his three-year salary arrears.

The Kotoko legend was hired in 2013 on a three-year contract with a monthly salary of $3,000.

However, Malik was paid for the first three months during the tenure of former GFA President, Kwasi Nyantakyi.

“I even went to the President to inform him. At that time, the deputy minister was there, so he (Akufo-Addo) told him to go and see his boss (the minister) so they would go to GFA and verify.

“If it was the case, then they bring it back to him, and he will see what he can do,” Jabir said in an interview with Graphic Sports.

“After months of delay and persistent calls, the GFA President finally confirmed to me that he has sent the confirmation to the ministry.

“I went from Kumasi to Accra a few times to follow up, and each time I got there, they told me the minister was not there, so I got tired and stopped following up.”

The Ministry of Youth and Sports are yet to comment on the request from Malik Jabir and the Ghana Football Association are still in talks with the former Black Stars player on the arrears.
