The Technical and Development Committee of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is scheduled to meet next week in Abuja and might make slight changes to Stephen Keshi's 30-man squad.
.
Nigeria head coach, Keshi announced a 30-man roster for the packed June schedule that will see the African champions play around 10 matches in the 2014 Fifa World Cup qualification, Fifa Confederations Cup and friendly matches.
.
The exclusion of captain Joseph Yobo has led to the NFF president, Aminu Maigari directing the federation's technical and development committee to intervene in the rift between Keshi and Yobo.
.
But the 30-man team announced on Thursday by Keshi will come under scrutiny when the NFF committee chaired by Christopher Green meets next week.
.
A member of the committee, Paul Bassey, informed:
.
"The list could be tweaked a bit when the technical sub-committee meets next week."
.
The NFF technical committee will be intervening in the recent rifts between Keshi and a few of his other players apart from Yobo.
.
The row with Peter Odemwingie and Emmanuel Emenike will also be revisited by the football federation.
.
Nigeria's Super Eagles will make a trip to Nairobi to face Kenya on June 5 before moving to Windhoek for the Namibia tie seven days later in the 2014 Fifa World Cup qualification.
