Christe told SportingLens.blogspot.com that her father would be laid to rest at the Ebony Vault, Ikoyi, Lagos on Friday
April 28.
She said the
family has reached out to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to be part of
the programme, adding that the family want the NFF to responsible for the their
father’s casket and Vault while the family would take care of the
entertainment.
“Our father
would be buried in Lagos. We decided to bury him in Lagos because of the
mammoth crowd that would wants to be part of the programme. His home town can’t
occupy that crowd. Although, we are yet to see any official of the NFF to come
and greet us since our father died but I went to Abuja to inform the officially
about our father’s demise. All we want from NFF is to take care of the casket
and Vault. We have submitted Ebony’s invoice of N4.5m requested to the NFF. We
want a befitting burial for our father,” she said to SportingLens.blogspot.com.
However, the
president of the Nigeria Football Coaching Association, Ladan Bosso has
promised the family that he and his colleagues would accord the late coach his
due respect.
Bosso made
the promise when he paid a condolence visit to the family last Saturday in
Lagos.
