We are working on immortalizing Shuaibu Amodu & Stephen Keshi- NFF says

The Nigeria Football Federation has revealed that plans are underway to immortalize legendary Nigerian coaches Shuaibu Amodu and Stephen Keshi who both passed away in June.

NFF General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi reiterated this while receiving in his office on Thursday, the newly –appointed National Technical Director, Mr. Bitrus Bewarang who will replace Amodu who was Technical director of the NFF before his death.

“The NFF is liasing with the Government through the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports, with regards to the immortalization of the two icons of our football who died last month. Both men contributed immensely to the development of Nigeria football and will never be forgotten.

“The NFF Board has immense confidence in your person that you will be able to fit quite well into the shoes left by late Coach Amodu and perhaps come up with great ideas to enhance the workings of the Technical department,” Sanusi told Bewarang, who is president of the Nigeria Football Coaches Association in a statement released by theNFF.com. Amodu has since been buried according to Muslim rites while Stephen Keshi will be buried on July 29.
