The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is unhappy with aspects of Stephen Keshi’s conduct and has asked the Super Eagles coach to explain his actions.
The federation is angry that Keshi attended a media function organised by TomTom without their permission on a day he was billed to meet with the NFF technical committee. They also want clarity why Keshi travelled to the United States without their authorisation earlier in the year when President Goodluck Jonathan was set to host the national side after their African Nations Championship campaign.
Part of the query reads: “It is important we draw your attention to previous actions whereby you travel out of Nigeria without NFF’s express permission.
“Specifically you travelled out of Nigeria before February 13, 2014, the day President Jonathan received the Africa Nations Championship (Chan) team, causing us huge embarrassment.
“Your request for leave approved by the NFF was from February 15 to March 10, 2014 but you left before February 13 and returned on March 26.
“The technical committee’s meeting on March 25 was called off because you said you had flight hitches from the USA. As a responsible organisation, we have no other option than to issue you a query to explain how all these events unfolded.”
The query, which was signed by Emmanuel Ikpeme, was issued to Keshi on Wednesday, and the former coach of Togo is expected to submit a written reply.
