A source close to the minister told Africanfootball: “The minister has been paying Keshi directly from the NFF subvention without any input from the NFF. And one of the aides of the Minister also confirmed that the payment was equally extended to the other members of the technical crew like Amokachi, Shorunmi and others. ‘’It’s part of the agreement when the Minister brought Keshi to fill the gap. There was no NFF in place then’’.
“This cannot be good for the relationship between employer and employee.”
Keshi was the man in charge of the Eagles games during the qualifiers.
