He is due to fly into Abuja on Tuesday evening for a meeting with the NFF technical committee headed by Felix Anyansi-Agwu.
“Oliseh is ready to earn the same pay Keshi was on,” a top official said.
“This is another good sign with the decision to give him the job without much fanfare.”
The NFF has confirmed that Oliseh would replace Kesh.
His backroom staff will include a Dutch assistant coach, Salisu Yusuf as well as Ike Shorunmu, who will remain as goalkeeper trainer.
His most immediate task will be a 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Tanzania.
The Super Eagles beats Chad 2-0 in Kaduna earlier last month to get its qualifying campaign for Gabon 2017 off to a winning start. Egypt is also in the same qualifying pool.
Meanwhile, Belgian Jean Francois Losciuto, is the man that will assist Oliseh.
He assisted the Nigerian when he managed Belgian lower third division side, Vervietois.
He also had coaching stints in Africa, with Togolese club, Anges de Notse and led the team during its CAF Champions League games against Enyimba earlier in the year, and also ASFA Yennenga of Burkina Faso.
He is expected to be announced as Sunday Oliseh’s right hand man when he is officially unveiled.
According to the NFF, Oliseh would oversee ‘developmental programs and will work with clubs’ youth teams and certified academies towards developing the game from the grassroots’.
