The Extra-Ordinary Congress unanimously endorsed the dissolution of the Aminu Maigari –led NFF Executive Committee, and immediate termination of the employment of all Management Staff.
While expressing their heartfelt appreciation to President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan in his personal capacity, and the Federal Government in general, for total and unflinching support to Nigeria Football, the Congress bemoaned the unfortunate incident of the international embarrassment caused by failure of the Aminu Maigari–led NFF to fully and firmly resolve issues of finance with the Super Eagles ahead of the championship.
