FIFA LIFTS BAN IMPOSED ON Nigeria's Football Federation.
FIFA
has lifted the suspension that was imposed on the Nigeria Football
Federation (NFF) on 9 July 2014 on account of external interference.
The
World football governing body ordered ban after a court sacked the
Aminu Maigari-led NFF Executive Committee and barred them from
overseeing the affairs of Nigerian football.
In
a statement released on Friday, the NFF stated that: “FIFA has
noted that the court proceedings and order preventing the president
of the NFF, the NFF Executive Committee members and the NFF Congress
from running the affairs of Nigerian football that prompted the
suspension was withdrawn.
“As
statutory order has been reinstated at the NFF and the legitimate
bodies reinstalled, FIFA has decided to lift the suspension as of
today, Friday, 18, 2014
The
liftin of the suspension means that all rights of the NFF as FIFA
members as defined in Article 12 of the FIFA Statues are reinstated.
