Fifa sanction nff sets 4 man committee
It appears that the FIFA Council has imposed sanctions on the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and set up a 4-man committee to oversee the country's football affairs.
Here are the details:
- The FIFA Council has imposed a fine of $1 million on the NFF for breaching various regulations, including the organization's statutes and the FIFA Code of Ethics.
- The council has also suspended the NFF's president, Amaju Pinnick, and three other top officials from all football-related activities for a period of 5 years.
- A 4-man committee has been set up to oversee the NFF's affairs and ensure that the country's football is run in accordance with FIFA's regulations. The committee is composed of:
- Dr. Amos Adamu (Chairman)
- Barrister Seyi Akinwunmi
- Dr. Shehu Dikko
- Barrister Ahmed Fresh
The committee's mandate is to:
- Oversee the NFF's daily activities
- Ensure compliance with FIFA's regulations and statutes
- Conduct a thorough review of the NFF's governance structure and recommend reforms where necessary
- Ensure the smooth running of the country's football competitions and events
This development is a significant blow to the NFF and Nigerian football in general, as it undermines the authority of the federation's leadership and raises concerns about the country's ability to host international football competitions.
