The crisis that has rocked the
Nigeria Football Federation since the Aminu Maigari-led board was sacked
on July 6 is to be resolved today in line with FIFA's deadline for
suspension lifting.
The development is as a result of the vacation of a suit in High Court
Jos, which had earlier granted restraining order against Maigari's board
thus preventing him and his board from administering Nigerian football.
FIFA
demanded for the withdrawal of the case as well as the reinstatement of
the Maigari-led board of the NFF as conditions before lifting the
suspension placed on the country since last week.
Nigeria was
lucky to have the world football governing body extend the deadline for
compliance to today due to the judicial workers strike which prevented
the court to sit on the earlier fixed July 15.
The Amos Adamu-led
lobby team sent to FIFA by sports minister Dr. Tammy Danagogo to
intimate FIFA on issues that necessitated Maigari's removal returned to
the country yesterday and has submitted its report, which hasn't been
made public.
The latest development has saved Nigeria bid to
participate in the U-20 FIFA Women's World Cup, as well as the male
African U-17 Championship qualifier this weekend.
Maigari and his
board will resume their duties today and continue their normal
functions until next month's elections when they could be sacked through
the ballot, in line with FIFA's statuses.
