The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has announced that it will continue its investigation into the management of a $12 billion intervention fund given to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF). This was stated by EFCC spokesman, Dele Oyewale, on Thursday. According to Oyewale, the ongoing probe is focused on the use of the fund.
The intervention fund, approved by President Bola Tinubu in 2024, was provided to address unpaid wages and bonuses to players of Nigeria's national teams. There are reports that some individuals associated with the fund have been questioned by the EFCC. This news follows the resignation of Ibrahim Gusau as NFF president and several board members on Thursday. Gusau had served for three years and 11 months and was set to seek re-election in September.
