Stephen Keshi agrees to a N6m deal with NFF

After pro-longed wrangling between Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and Coach Stephen Keshi, both parties have finally reached an agreement of six million naira. Keshi’s initial deal of 5 million naira was topped with 1 million naira to settle the rift.

The new deal will be on papers once the  NFF crisis is fully resolved.

This recent development can be linked to the intervention of Sports minister Tammy Danagogo, in the negotiation earlier this week the minister assured  Keshi that he will continue with the Eagles. He said,“Keshi has agreed to carry on with the job because of his love for the team and the country and because of my intervention which was necessitated by the prolonged negotiation between him and the NFF.”

Keshi, who is currently,  in Nigeria will start working with his selected 23- man squad and prepare them for September’s 2015 AFCON qualifier matches.
