The House of Representatives Committee on Sports has urged all parties in the Nigerian Football Federation to meet as soon as possible to decide a new road map for the federation and schedule an election to bring in new officials.
The Chairman of the House Committee on Sports, Rep. Godfrey Gaiya, said the resolution is in line with the latest FIFA advice.
Rep. Godfrey Gaiya said the committee arrived at the resolution after a three day interactive session with various stakeholders of the Nigerian football house declared that “the agenda for Congress of August 26, 2014 was not elective as attested to by notice of NFF General Assembly issued by the General Secretary.
“Since the August 26, 2014 Congress did not conform to NFF Statute/Regulation, the Committee urges all interested parties to have recourse to the advice contained in FIFA letter of September 3, 2014,”, he said.
He urged the NFF Congress “to meet soonest to decide a new road map and schedule an election that will allow all eligible Nigerians to participate freely and fairly to usher in fresh air and sanity into the Nigeria Football House.”
FIFA had in the letter directed Giwa and other purportedly elected officials of the federation to vacate the Glass House latest on September 8 or the federation will be suspended.
