NFF Slashes Stephen Keshi’s Salary Few Days After Receiving 2 Cars From Adenuga

Few days after he received the cars that were promised him by Mike Adenuga of Globacom, Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi will be loosing a significant amount of his salary due to a new structure being promoted by the leadership of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF.

After a meeting of the Technical Committee of the NFF in Abuja, it was decided that all match bonuses as well as the salaries of the coaches, including Keshi should be cut down.

When the General Secretary of the NFF, Mr. Musa Amadu, was asked why they are reducing the pay of people who recently brought bride to Nigeria, he simply said it’s due to the reality on ground.

“If you take just a simple look at the period around June and the cost implication for the country, for instance, you will understand that the measures being taken have become very necessary. We cannot continue like this; there has to be sensible auditing,” he said.

The committee also deliberated on the war of words between Keshi and his players and promised to address the issues before the team embarks on matches for the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
