Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President Ibrahim Gusau and other members of the federation’s executive board have reportedly resigned amid mounting pressure over the decline of Nigerian football and allegations concerning the management of federation funds.

Gusau, NFF board members step down

Gusau and other board members reportedly resigned on Thursday, August 27, according to former Super Eagles media officer Obong Colin Udoh.

The development comes amid growing criticism of the NFF leadership following a series of setbacks suffered by Nigeria’s national teams on the international stage.

The NFF had also faced increasing pressure over governance and financial accountability, with questions raised about the management of funds allocated to the federation.
