The President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick, at the weekend reiterated that the reconstitution of a number of the Federation’s standing committees and the judicial bodies were done only after extensive consultations with various football interest groups and stakeholders in the country.
While dissolving the 20 standing committees and two judicial bodies at the end of the NFF Annual General Assembly in Abuja on December 16, 2015, Pinnick stated that the dissolution was to re-invigorate the committees, make room for more inclusive arrangement and bring in more highly –qualified personalities.
The quality and capacity of membership of the six standing committees and the two judicial bodies released on Friday has validated Pinnick’s claims.
In an unprecedented move, the NFF has sought to carry along various interest groups, while also including some of the leading football personalities in the land.
Pinnick said on Sunday that there are more pleasant surprises to come when the membership of the remaining 13 standing committees is unveiled next week.
He said: “The Committees will once more be the engine room of football administration, and that is why we are bringing the best hands from everywhere. We are consulting wide to ensure that every group is carried along because the football family is a united and indivisible one.”
