After a court ruling on Thursday sacked the Amaju Pinnick led board of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Chris Giwa and his board took over the NFF office and have reversed all executive decisions taken by the former board.
Among the new decisions taken by Giwa is the re-instatement of Stephen Keshi as the Super Eagles coach.
A communiqué released after the board’s executive meeting reads in part: “The NFF board reviewed and feels so strongly to sustain the out-of-contract assignment given to the technical crew of the Super Eagles led by Stephen Keshi at a very critical moment like this. Nigerians want the national team to play well, win and a pride to them”
Keshi, whose contract with the football body expired after the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, had taken up a temporary duty of coaching the super Eagles until he was fired after the match against Sudan which Nigeria won 3-1 in Abuja.
