The President of Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, Ibrahim Gusau, and other board members have resigned.
The NFF board had come under intense pressure following the poor management of Nigerian football.
The latest debacle was the failure of the Super Falcons to qualify for the FIFA Women World Cup for the first time.
The board had been badgered by security agents, as it came under scrutiny over the (mis)management of funds released by the Federal Government for the national football teams.
The Department of State Services, DSS, joined other security operatives in investigating the NFF over the utilisation of the N17bn Federal Government intervention fund released to the Federation for players’ wages and bonuses.
The fund was approved by President Bola Tinubu in 2024 to clear outstanding payments owed to Nigeria’s national teams.
It was gathered that the DSS had beamed their searchlight on officials of NFF to show proof on what they did with the massive fund released to the Glass house.
