The Federal Government has released a statement about the ongoing crisis in the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on Monday after FIFA has threatened to ban the West Africa nation if they fail to return Amaju Pinnick as president of the football federation and general secretary,

Mohammed Sanusi on or before 12 noon on Monday. In the statement released, it shows the federal government has backed the Amaju Pinnick’s led board to continue leading the NFF up until the next elections.

With this, the proposed suspension of Nigeria by FIFA from all international competitions will be called off by the football governing body. The statement was released on Twitter by Laolu Akande who is the Senior Special Assistant, media and publicity to vice-president, Yemi Osinbajo.

“The FG has already conveyed to FIFA its firm position recognizing Amaju Pinnick-led NFF as the current & only NFF Exco. Govt will also continue to work with all relevant stakeholders involved to resolve dispute in a timely manner. FG is upholding NFF treaty obligations to FIFA,” reads the statement on Akande’s Twitter handle on Monday.

Football fans in Nigeria will now have a sigh of relief after fears of their darling country being suspended from the sports they love.
