According to the minister, Keshi should be treated with some respect by the football administrators, who should first discuss the matter of his contract with him before making it a press issue.
Meanwhile, Keshi has also refuted the story, stressing that he only told the players that the match against France may be his last with them as his contract had expired with the World Cup.
Keshi, who became the coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria in 2011, led the team to win the 2013 African Cup of Nations in South Africa and also became the first African coach to lead an African side to the second round of the World Cup.
