Nigeria Football Body Receives Ultimatum Amid Maladministration and Misappropriation Allegations'

Nigeria's Football Federation (NFF) is facing pressure after being given a 24-hour ultimatum to resign amid allegations of maladministration and misappropriation. Former midfielder Michael Essien has denied involvement in the claims.

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Executive Committee led by Ibrahim Gusau has been given a 24-hour ultimatum to resign amid allegations of maladministration and misappropriation of funds. The accusations stem from controversy surrounding former midfielder Michael Essien's claim that he was owed money by the federation. However, it appears Essien later clarified that his statement was taken out of context, suggesting a potential reprieve for Gusau's leadership team. The 24-hour deadline remains in effect as of press time.
