Fresh turmoil hits NFF as Gusau, board members allegedly resign
The President of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF), Ibrahim Gusau, and some other board members of the Nigerian Football Federation have reportedly quit their posts.
This has been reported in the wake of growing criticisms regarding the management of football in Nigeria.
The development was reportedly triggered by the Super Falcons’ failure to qualify for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Nigeria have always qualified for the tournament throughout its history.
The NFF board had come under intense pressure following the poor management of Nigerian football.
The Super Eagles also failed to qualify for back-to-back World Cups, missing out on the 2026 edition.
A former media officer of the Eagles, Colin Udoh, wrote on X: “I have just been informed by a top @NatSportsComm official that @thenff President @IbrahimMusaGus1 and board have resigned.
“I have tried to reach Gusau for confirmation. I haven’t heard back from him yet.
“The NSC official says it is the first step towards restructuring the NFF.
“All will be clearer by the end of the day today.
