of Coach Stephen Keshi to handle the Super Eagles coaching job.
According to the organisation,Keshi,whose new contrat has been
officially communicated to him, is to get a N5 million monthly salary
besides a comfortable house and other benefits.
NFF president,Amaju Pinnick, disclosed this, Friday, during the 2015
budget defence of the Federal Ministry of Sports.
He said the necessary papers were issued to the Super Eagles handler a week ago.
He also said NFF was awaiting Keshi's response to his new contract
even as he hinted that official pronouncement on the contract would be
made within ten days.
But he regretted that the contract, which Keshi has not communited the
federation on its acceptance or otherwise,has since dominated the
media.
"The contract was forwarded to him about a week ago and of course,in
the media,we started hearing some stories.
"In the federation,we do not believe in the media,we believe in the
official correspondences between the employer and the employee.
"I can assure you that within the next ten to fifteen days,at worst,we
should be able to make a pronouncement of this contract finally.
"We have given him time to study the contract.Like I said,corresponce
should not be hearsay,correspondence should be between the employee
and the employer and that is what we are waiting for,"he stressed.
He added: "So,based on the reality on ground,it took them quite a
couple of time but I can assure you that the contract that we offer
Coach Stephen Keshi,we went through a lot of processes that at the end
of the day, if anybody sees it,he will know that it is a thoroughly
done contract.
"And in terms of the finance,we advocated to pay five million naira
with other provision for housing and some other anxiliary and very
realistic benefits, which of course,are all enshrined in his
contract."
He said the new contract went through vigorous processes in order to
avoid mistakes of the past.
"When I got elected, I went through a lot of documentation in the
federation and I found that in the past,coaches were employed and
there were some issues that were not sorted out.
"So,I made sure that all the committees that had to do with the
employment of the coach met from the legal committee of the federation
to the technical committee and because of the fact that we don't want
any form of issues after a coach has been elected,they went through
all these.
"We looked at the reality on ground and I told them very clearly that
what can we pay based on what we are going to be expecting, even the
economy also affects the Nigerian corporate which of course,we always
tried to target,to meet our budgeting provision,"he stressed.
