Head Coach of the Super Eagles, Stephen Okechukwu Keshi, has formally confirmed the withdrawal of his resignation from the services of the Nigeria Football Federation.
Keshi, in a statement on Tuesday morning, said his decision to reconsider his position, as first exclusively reported by The Eagle Online, followed a meeting he had with the Minister of Sports, Mallam Bolaji Abdulahi.
The statement by Keshi reads: “My attention has been drawn to reports in the media that I have resigned my appointment as the Head Coach of Super Eagles of Nigeria.
“While I have had cause to express my displeasure over some issues that happened in the course of our participation in the AFCON 2013, which my team won by the grace of God, especially concerning my relationship with the Nigerian Football Federation, I have since had opportunity to discuss the various issues with all concerned. I am therefore pleased to say that I have reconsidered my position and have decided to continue with my job.
“I want to thank the Honourable Minister of Sports, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, for his swift and kind intervention.”
