The Federal Government, on Thursday said it had not forgotten the children of former Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi, who died in June. The government has promised to invest in them as soon as President Muhammadu Buhari approved the fund.
Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung, stated this on Thursday in Asaba, Delta State, when he visited the state governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa to solicit the state’s support for the National Youth Games which comes up on September 22. Dalung said the government could not do much during the burial ceremony owing to paucity of funds.
Keshi, who died in June 2016, at 54 was also a former Eagles captain and won the Africa Cup of Nations as a player and a coach.
Dalung said the government would elaborately do the investment once funds were available to cover up for the lapses recorded during the burial ceremony held in the state.
