Nigeria’s Sports minister, Tammy Danagogo, has promised to keep up a mutual agreement and reward recently sacked coach of the Super Eagles, Stephen Keshi.
According to him, the football manager will be paid a sum of N10 million, this week, for the period of 2 months he spent with the National team after he fell out of contract.
Speaking on an interview, the minister disclosed arrangements he had with Keshi before the coach took up the job of qualifying the Eagles.
“When I asked Keshi to take charge of the team on an interim basis, I promised him that he will be paid his wages for the period of time he worked, based on that, I have instructed the NFF to pay Keshi his two months salaries from their allocation this month,” he said.
“We must learn to honour agreements because Keshi is no longer the coach does not mean we should deny him his entitlements, ” the minister added.
