The federal government has pledged to immortalise the late Stephen Keshi, a legendary footballl player and manager of the Nigeria football national team.
Reacting to the sudden death of the Super Eagles ex-coach Solomon Dalong, the minister of youth and sports, issued a condolence message, where he wrote:
“I will formally inform the government of the death of this great Nigerian and I want to assure Nigerians that government will seek ways to immortalise him.
It is with a heavy heart but gratitude to the almighty God that I, on behalf of the Ministry and the Federal Government of Nigeria, sympathise with the family of Coach Stephen Keshi (MON).
I was really shocked by the news of his death. He was one of Nigeria’s heroes whose contributions to the development of football cannot be quantified.
He was a trailblazer who dedicated his life and talents to his fatherland. I join millions of soccer followers across the world to mourn this illustrious son of Nigeria, Africa and the world.”
