The Minister of Youth and Sports, Barrister Solomon Dalung, is to meet with the two warring groups of the Nigeria Football Federation.
The peace meeting with Amaju Pinnick and Chris Giwa is to finally resolve the issue over the leadership of the football house.
The meeting holds on January 20, 2016 at 8pm.
In a statement, Barrister Dalung again appealed to the two groups for calm.
He said: “After a comprehensive study of submissions from both sides, I have fixed January 20, 2016 to meet with the leaders of the two groups to resolve the issue.
“In the light of the above, the leaders of the two warring groups are hereby advised to refrain from acts capable of jeopardizing the peace process. They should therefore maintain calm while the issue is being resolved. All should note that any act contrary to my appeal will continue to tarnish the image and Integrity of the country and further scare would-be investors from our sports.”
The Chris Giwa-led group had announced that they will resume at the Glass House on January 12 in a renewed claim to the leadership of the NFF.
The seat of the President of the Nigeria Football Federation is currently being occupied by Pinnick.
