FIFA Gives Nigeria Deadline On Chris Giwa ==================== World football-governing body, FIFA is threatening to suspend Nigeria from international competition next Monday unless a newly elected governing body replaces the football federation’s current executive committee. FIFA sent a warning to Chris Giwa, who was appointed to run the NFF in August after previous president Aminu Maigari was reportedly arrested by secret police. World football’s governing body said “the NFF will be suspended with immediate effect should there still be persons claiming to have been elected to NFF positions on 26 August 2014 and occupying their offices on Monday, 8 September 2014 at 08.00 (Central European Time).” “While the said general assembly was duly convened by the NFF Executive Committee to adopt a new roadmap leading to the NFF elections, some members proceeded to hold elections in the absence of the NFF president, who was being held by security forces for questioning.” Commenting on the Sept. 8 deadline, FIFA added: “Should the new deadline not be respected, the NFF will be automatically suspended until the board claiming to be elected vacates the premises of the NFF and the NFF general secretary is able to perform his work without interference. “The NFF Executive Committee as it was composed on 25 August 2014, meaning under the presidency of Aminu Maigari, should then convene as soon as possible a first extraordinary general assembly to elect the members of the electoral committee and a second extraordinary general assembly in the shortest time possible allowed by law in order to proceed with the elections of new NFF office-bearers.” Via:-MR INTEGRITY
