The much celebrated signing of contract between the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and Coach Stephen Keshi earlier scheduled to take place Friday did not take place afterall.
The general secretary of the NFF, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi had last week said that the
two bodies would sign the contract by Friday.
But checks by Sports Vanguard in Abuja revealed that the contract signing did not hold because of a number of factors including the fact the president of the NFF, Amaju Pinnick is not in the country.
Also it was gathered that another issue that may have delayed the contract is the
fact that the parent body, the National Sports Commission (NSC) is still studying the document to ascertain whether it is in line with the thinking of the federal government.
The issue of renewing the contract of Coach Keshi has been a controversial one since the end of the 2014 World Cup. Soon after the Super Eagles started showing signs that they may not qualify for the last African Cup of Nations (AFCON), and the federation sacked Keshi but was forced to rescind due to alleged directive by the presidency.
