The Nigeria Football Federation led by Chris Giwa has reversed the decision of the body earlier taken by the opposing faction of Amaju Pinnick to reinstate Stephen Keshi as the Super Eagles coach. The leadership of the NFF under Amaju Pinnick replaced Keshi with Amodu Shaibu about two weeks ago after leading the Super Eagles to a 3-1 victory over Sudan in Abuja. The win was the team’s first in four matches in the qualifying series for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations. Chris Giwa took over the NFF following Thursday’s ruling by a Jos Federal High Court, which ordered the return to status quo in the NFF before the September 30 election, which appointed Amaju Pinnick in Warri. On the other hand, Nigeria could face severe sanctions from International Football governing body FIFA, this week. The NFF has been given a deadline of Monday, October 27, 2014 to resolve its governance issue or face automatic suspension from FIFA. Despite the Federal High Court’s ruling, FIFA and CAF say they recognize the elections of Pinnick and his executive committee.
