The General Secretary of the Nigeria Football Federation, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, said on Wednesday that confirmation has come from world football-governing body, FIFA, that Nigeria is among the countries where the iconic trophy would be visiting before next year’s major showpiece.

The first stop of the consultations and awareness to the Glass House, the headquarters of Nigeria Football Federation in Abuja, was at the office of the Secretary-General of the NFF, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, who pledged the support of the highest football body in Nigeria in ensuring the success of the tournament

Speaking when players and Coach of Lagos-based Ambassadors Football Academy paid him a visit at the NFF Secretariat, Abuja, the seasoned sports administrator affirmed that keeping clear of vices such as smoking, drinking and gangsterism ultimately helps in moulding a successful career in sport, while education would definitely impact on the tenor of a career in sport and keeps the athlete going in a good way after retirement, either as a result of injury, loss of form or age.

“All affiliates of the Nigeria Football Federation and indeed all Football Stakeholders are advised to submit the list of officials that have failed to comply with the directive of the NFF to relinquish one position out of the two or more positions occupied that portends a clear conflict of interest in the discharge of their duties,” read the circular, signed by NFF General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi.
