All in the bid to avert the wrath of FIFA, Nigeria Football Federation [NFF] president, Aminu Maigari
has been reinstated back in office after a court order restraining him
and other executive committee members of the federation was vacated on
Wednesday.
Nembe City chairman, Mrs Ebiakpo Rumson Baribote, had instituted a
suit at the Plateau State High Court in Jos that restrained the NFF and
its congress from managing football affairs in Nigeria.
The NFF was subsequently suspended by Fifa for government
interference following the appointment of Lawrence Katken to run the
football house by the Nigeria sports minister, Dr Tamuno Danagogo.
But on Wednesday, Justice L.P. Lot of the High Court in Jos agreed to
vacate the case against Maigari and his NFF board as Nigeria move
closer to beating further sanctions from Fifa.
Reinstated NFF general secretary, Musa Amadu, has already communicated with Fifa about the latest development.
Maigari and the NFF executive committee members have now returned to
office as instructed by Fifa before it can lift the suspension.
It is now expected that the world football governing body, Fifa, will
announce the lifting of the suspension of Nigeria since the court case
has been vacated and the NFF executive committee reinstated.
