FIFA at peace with Nigeria, says NFF is not suspended

Nigeria has escaped FIFA hammer after complying with the directives of the world football ruling body on putting its house in order.

 

The world governing body said it welcomed the fact that ousted president Aminu Maigari and his executive committee had been able to return to work and as a result lifted the threat of sanctions.

 

According to a statement issued by FIFA on its website which reads:

 

''The conditions set out in FIFA’s letter of 3 September have been met and that, therefore, the NFF is not suspended.''

 

FIFA however expects the NFF  Executive Committee to meet as soon as possible in order to convene an extraordinary general assembly to decide on the roadmap leading to the elections, which should be open to all persons complying with the NFF statutes and regulations.
