28 years after, FG fulfills house promise to Keshi, others

The federal government has been 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 documents were handed over to late Stephen Keshi and 14 other members of the 1994 Super Eagles Team by the government on Thursday September 29, 2022.

This was disclosed in a statement signed by senior government worker and Director, Press and Public Relations, Blessing Lere-Adams, on Friday.

She said the handover ceremony was done at the headquarters of the Nigerian Ministry of Works and Housing in Abuja.

President Major General Muhammadu Buhari had early this year promised to gift houses to 21 members of the 1994 Super Eagles Team from the housing units under the National Housing Programme in any state of their choice.

At the handover ceremony, Director, Public Building and Housing, Solomon Labafilo, who handed over the C of O on behalf of the Government of Nigeria, assured that the remaining nine members will receive their homes soon.
