NFF reforms: A new congress for a new era

President Bola Tinubu has ordered “comprehensive reforms” for Nigerian football. The directive could not have come at a better time. For years, the Nigeria Football Federation has been stuck in cycles of poor performances, crisis, litigation, and distrust. If we are serious about fixing the house, we must start with the foundation: the NFF Congress.

Good that the National Sports Commission has got the nod from FIFA to set up an Interim Management Committee after the resignation of the Gusau-led board. There is now enough time to set our bed neatly for a proper respite.

This must be the first job of the Interim Management Committee after FIFA’s nod this week.
