FIFA Lifts Ban On Nigeria

Latest news coming out of the head office of the world football governing body, FIFA, in Zurich, Switzerland indicate that the ban placed on Nigeria over all football related activities has been reportedly lifted.

Although the government has decided to put a stop to being a part of the ruling football board, it has also withdrawn its financial support to the national football body, which the NFF found so unbearable as it has affected all the activities of the football board this July.

The suspension, which FIFA revealed will be lifted as soon as the court action that was instituted by Ruth Baribote, owner of Nembe FC, and also to reinstate the Aminu Maigari-led Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) board without government’s interference before  July 17 deadline has been met by NFF which made the ban to be reportedly lifted.

It could be recalled that the FIFA Emergency Committee decided to suspend The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) with immediate effect, due to what it called government interference in the national football board and many obvious politicking.
