Fifa has ordered Nigeria
government to reinstate the
Aminu Maigari led Nigeria
Football Federation that
was sacked by a court
sitting before July 8, 2014
or risk sanction.
In a statement published on its website on Friday,
Fifa acknowledged the court order stopping the
embattled NFF board from performing its functions
and expressed concern over the development.
The body described the development surrounding
the Nigeria Football Federation as "undue
interference in the affairs of the supposed
independent federation".
"Fifa has sent a letter to the Nigeria Football
Federation (NFF) expressing its great concern over
different actions taken by Nigerian public
authorities that affect the NFF," the statement read.
"Fifa has learnt from various sources that the NFF
has been served with court processes and that
consequently an order restraining the President of
the NFF, his executive committee members and the
NFF congress from running the affairs of Nigerian
football has been granted by a High Court of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria.
"Fifa has also taken note of the detention of NFF
President Aminu Maigari carried out by
representatives of the department of the State
Security Service. Furthermore, Fifa is also aware
that the Minister of Sport has appointed an
assistant director to take charge of the NFF.
"Fifa has reminded the NFF that all Fifa member
associations have to manage their affairs
independently and without influence of any third
parties as clearly stipulated in articles 13, par. 1
and 17, par. 1 of the Fifa Statutes.
"The NFF has been asked to relay Fifa’s position to
the relevant authorities and inform them that if the
aforementioned NFF officials are not fully reinstated
by Tuesday 8 July 2014 the case will be referred to
the appropriate Fifa bodies for sanctions, including
the potential suspension of the NFF.
"Fifa will not recognize any person or organ not
elected in compliance with the NFF statutes (article
17, par 2 and 3 of the Fifa statutes) and therefore it
will not consider the appointment made by the
minister of sports. An elective congress has been
duly convened by the NFF for 26 August 2014 and
only decisions and persons elected then will be
considered legitimate," Fifa concluded.

Na wa o.NFF should be autonomous if they don't want any interference from the FG.

It's annoying man...fifa has made it easy for the heads of all Football Associations globally to do what they like with funds, and the money is for us the taxpayers. Many Football officials are thieves and overly drenched in corruption. I pray governments start snubbing fifa and carrying out investigations to deal ruthlessly with the criminals.
