The three-time African champions are scheduled to travel to Marrakech on Thursday, where they will face 2019 champions Algeria in the last eight on Saturday.
However, the match is now in jeopardy, as the team has threatened not to travel on Thursday if their allowances remain unpaid by the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF).
The squad previously boycotted training two days to their CAF playoff semifinal clash against Gabon in November, but later participated and recorded a 4-1 win over their opponents.
