Stephen Keshi will reportedly sign a new deal with
the Nigeria Football Federation(NFF) and will now
be earning seven million Naira per month.
The deal is expected to be a 12-month contract
that will elapse at the end of 2015.
Keshi’s last contract with the NFF which ended
after the 2014 FIFA World Cup tournament was at
N5million per month.
And one of the reasons why a deal failed to be
brokered since then was the haggling over the
price he wanted to be paid.
While the previous NFF board were said to have
been insistent on retaining the N5million price-tag
that he was paid, some reports claimed that
Keshi wanted N10million, which stalled the deal.
But with the turn of events of late, and also the
intervention of government which saw Keshi
brought back after he was dismissed in October,
a truce seems to have been reached.
Keshi will now earn N7million per month, which
will culminate into N84million by the time the
contract expires next year.
