Why I resigned as NFF president – Gusau

Ibrahim Gusau has resigned as President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF). He announced his decision at a press conference at the NFF headquarters in Abuja on Thursday, according to Premium Times. Gusau cited his love for Nigeria and football development as reasons for stepping down, as reported by Punch Nigeria.

His resignation comes amid criticism over the direction of Nigeria's football under his leadership, particularly following disappointing results from the national teams, including the Super Eagles' failure to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, as reported by Daily Trust.

Gusau also mentioned achievements in refereeing and sponsorship drive, according to BusinessDay Nigeria. His departure throws the leadership and immediate future of Nigeria's football administration into uncertainty, as noted by Daily Trust.
