The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has confirmed that it is investigating the utilization of the N12bn intervention fund released by the Nigerian government to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF). The investigation, which is ongoing, follows reports that some officials linked to the fund have been invited by investigators and have provided statements.
The NFF's President, Ibrahim Gusau, recently resigned after three years and 11 months in office, citing consultations with his family and friends. Gusau's resignation comes amid concerns over Nigeria's recent performances in international football, with both the men's and women's national teams failing to qualify for major tournaments.
Despite his resignation, Gusau stated that he will continue to contribute to the development of Nigerian football using his experience and connections within African football.
