The National Sports Commission (NSC) has endorsed Dr Emmanuel Ikpeme as interim General Secretary of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) following the resignation of President Ibrahim Musa Gusau, General Secretary Dr Mohammed Sanusi and members of the federation’s Executive Committee.
Ikpeme, who was previously the NFF’s Deputy General Secretary, will oversee the federation’s secretariat during the transition, while Dr Ademola Olajire, the former Director of Media and Communications, has been appointed interim Deputy General Secretary.
The appointments are part of interim measures introduced as the Federal Government begins a comprehensive reform of Nigerian football following the resignation of the NFF leadership.
NFF election suspended
The NFF has also suspended all processes leading to its Elective Congress scheduled for September 27 in Lafia, Nasarawa State.
The federation said a fresh electoral process would begin after the completion of the proposed reforms, which will be undertaken in consultation with FIFA and the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
