Nigeria football narrowly escapes FIFA ban

This has been lingering over sometimes now; Nigerian FA have narrowly escaped a lengthy ban from the world football governing body, FIFA. The court case against the FA was to start the ban from FIFA, but the attorneys handling the case registered by Chris Giwa, ousted head of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF.

A judge in Jos had last week ruled that the naming of a new president, Amaju Pinnick, and executive committee should be put apart. But reports reaching us indicate that Giwa has withdrawn his complaint.

FIFA has in recent months repeatedly warned Nigeria that it faced sanctions over the running of the NFF and its treatment of elections to appoint a young president and executive committee. Reports surfaced on Wednesday night that President Goodluck Jonathan had urged the NFF to resolve the crises rocking the football house in the pastime of football loving Nigerians.
