Heading to Civil Court to Reform Nigerian Football Governance
I was shocked by Italy’s repeated failure to reach the World Cup. Their Sports Minister forced the federation president to resign. This shows governments can intervene without FIFA sanctions. Nigeria has also missed two straight World Cups. Our Sports Minister offered only mild reforms after Nigeria’s poor performance. Past constitutional changes by President Buhari were ignored. The current NFF board remains stuck in outdated rules. I plan to file a suit in a Nigerian civil court to pause upcoming NFF elections. I will ask judges to review our constitution and election process. The goal is to ensure fairness, equity, and compliance with FIFA norms. Nigeria needs a simple, transparent governance model. Elections should be inexpensive, open, and held in Abuja. Only legitimate members should vote. This new structure can revive Nigerian football.
