Maigari, NFF Board Back To Work

Nigeria has man
aged to beat the deadline set by FIFA as Aminu Maigari and his hitherto ousted management board are set to be reinstated.
The new development comes after the High Court in Jos, which granted the earlier restraining order against Maigari’s board, vacated the order which had prevented Maigari and his board from administering Nigerian football.
FIFA had demanded for the withdrawal of the court case as well as the reinstatement of the Maigari-led board of the Nigeria Football Federation as conditions for lifting the suspension placed on Nigeria.
The world football governing body also extended the deadline for compliance to July 17, in a bid to save Nigeria’s participation in the U-20 FIFA Women’s World Cup, as well as for a male African U-17 Championship qualifier this weekend.
Maigari and his board are expected to have resumed their duties yesterday and continue their normal functions until next month’s elections.
