Former Football Administrator Calls for Gusau-Led NFF Board to Resign

A former football administrator has called on the Ibrahim Gusau-led Nigeria Football Federation board to resign, blaming poor leadership for the Super Eagles’ failure to qualify for the 2022 and 2026 FIFA World Cups. He also criticised the Super Falcons’ disappointing recent campaign and questioned the accountability of funds released for major national-team competitions. According to him, recurring failures across Nigeria’s senior and youth teams point to institutional incompetence rather than bad luck. The writer wants the NFF statutes and electoral system reformed, with greater voting influence for Premier League clubs and more qualified football figures involved in running the federation. He argues that Nigeria needs experienced, decisive leadership to rebuild its football structure.
