NFF board impeaches Aminu Maigari

The Nigeria Football Federation board, today, in Abuja impeached it chairman Alhaji Animu Maigari.


Alhaji Aminu Maigari, coming from the brink of extinction, after it was saved by FIFA’s insistence, was sacked because the Board members were not happy with the management style of president of the federation.

After thorough and exhaustive deliberations on the uncalled-for secrecy surrounding all financial dealings of the Federation and failure to call meeting of the Executive Committee for the past eight (8) months, during which so many weighty decisions on Nigeria football had been taken by a small cabal within the Board, the Executive Committee passed a vote of no confidence on the NFF President, Alhaji Aminu Maigari.

The decision of the members was communication through a communiqué signed by the finance committee chairman Alhaji Muazu Suleyman as the Chairman, Communiqué Drafting Committee.
The statement read in part, “In view of the above, the Committee approved the immediate dismissal of Alhaji Aminu Maigari, from the NFF Executive Committee on grounds of financial misappropriation, misapplication and maladministration.


The Board asked Maigari’s Vice to take over the leadership of the Glass House.
