Amos Adamu has
said that he is in no hurry to return to football administration after his three-year Fifa ban expired on October 19.
Adamu was banned for three years by Fifa for allegedly demanding a £500 000 bribe to influence his 2018 World Cup voting despite denying any wrongdoing.
“My interest is not to rush back to the international federations,” Adamu said on the expiration of his ban. “But I am delighted that my ban has expired and I am free to contribute to the development of football and sports generally in Nigeria, Africa and the world at large.
“My focus is different now and those expecting me to rush back to football administration would be disappointed.
“I want to do serious business in sports. I am now a different person. This is the new Amos Adamu.”
The former Director General of Nigeria’s Sports Ministry says he has undergone a transformation. “I went through some transformations which had been worthwhile. I am now a different person, wiser than before.”
