Ibrahim Gusau, the leader of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), has stepped down from his role. Gusau revealed his decision to resign on Thursday at the NFF headquarters in Abuja. Rumors of his resignation had been circulating for several days, but were only officially confirmed on that day. Gusau addressed the media during a news briefing in Abuja to formally announce his departure.
His resignation comes at a time when the NFF has been facing significant criticism from both Nigerians and football officials over the management of the country's football teams.

This move leaves the future direction of Nigeria's football administration in a state of uncertainty.
