Former defunct Green Eagles Assistant Coach, Tunde Disu, has urged the Federal Government to immortalise the late Super Eagles Coach, Stephen Keshi because of his achievements for the country.

Disu said Wednesday in Lagos that Keshi’s achievement was legendary in the annals of Nigerian football.

The Jigawa Government said it had concluded arrangements to buy and distribute school uniforms, sandals and bags worth N24 million to pupils of the 299 nomadic schools across the state. Alhaji Ali Manu, the Executive Secretary of the State Agency for Nomadic Education disclosed this in Dutse on Wednesday while speaking with newsmen.

“’The CAF President conveyed the condolences on his own behalf, the CAF Executive Committee and African football family on the demise of Keshi, who was a jewel to his family, friends and the Nigerian football family, who are badly affected. “This is a man, who was twice winner of the Africa Cup of Nations with Nigeria; in 1994 as captain and in 2013 as a coach, with the latter earning him the distinction of Coach of the Year at the Glo-CAF Awards,” the statement read.

The Governorship Election Petition Tribunal for Kogi sitting in Abuja on Wednesday dismissed the petition filed by the Labour Party for failing to substantiate its claims. Justice Halima Muhammad, the tribunal Chairman in a two-hour judgment, dismissed the petition, saying that it lacked merit.

The Managing Director, Capital Oil Plc and Founder/President FC Ifeanyi Ubah, Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah, has commiserated with the family of former Super Eagles head coach, Stephen Keshi, over the demise of Keshi, who passed on Wednesday morning.
