FG Redeems House Pledge to Late Stephen Keshi

The Federal Government has handed over the Certificate of Occupancy and other land documents to late Stephen Keshi and 14 other members of the 1994 Super Eagles Team.

The late sport’s legend was gifted a three-bedroom flat in Delta State. The handing-over ceremony was done at the headquarters of the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing, on Thursday in Abuja.

It will be recalled that President Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd) early this year promised to gift houses to twenty-two members of the 1994 Super Eagles Team from the housing units under the National Housing Programme in any state of their choice.

Speaking on behalf of the family, Ifeanyi Mudabai, expressed gratitude to President Muhammadu Buhari for redeeming the promise after 28 years. Late Stephen Keshi’s family opted to have his allocated to him in Delta State, his home state where he was laid to rest.

Ifeanyi, who is late Stephen Kechi’s uncle, also applauded the Minister of works and housing, Babatunde Fashola, for the thoughtful initiation of fulfilling the promise through the National Housing Programme.
