Thee crisis that has rocked the Nigeria Football Federation since the
Aminu Maigari-led board was sacked on July 6 is to be resolved today in
line with FIFA's deadline for suspension lifting.
FIFA demanded for the withdrawal of the case as well as the
reinstatement of the Maigari-led board of the NFF as conditions before
lifting the suspension placed on the country since last week.
Nigeria was lucky to have the world football governing body extend the
deadline for compliance to today due to the judicial workers strike
which prevented the court to sit on the earlier fixed July 15.
The Amos Adamu-led lobby team sent to FIFA by sports minister Dr. Tammy
Danagogo to intimate FIFA on issues that necessitated Maigari's removal
returned to the country yesterday and has submitted its report, which
hasn't been made public.
The latest development has saved Nigeria bid to participate in the U-20
FIFA Women's World Cup, as well as the male African U-17 Championship
qualifier this weekend.
Maigari and his board will resume their duties today and continue their
normal functions until next month's elections when they could be sacked
through the ballot, in line with FIFA's statuses.
