NFF President Ibrahim Gusau and members of the NFF Executive Committee have reportedly resigned following weeks of mounting pressure over the disappointing performances of Nigeria’s national teams.
Official confirmation from the NFF is still awaited.
The next step should be a comprehensive reset and restructuring of Nigerian football, including a review of the governing frameworks and the overall football ecosystem.
A Normalisation Committee is therefore likely to be established. However, such a move would require FIFA’s involvement and approval, as the process cannot be undertaken independently of the world football governing body.
