NFF election process suspended, Ikpeme takes over as interim boss

The National Football Federation (NFF) has suspended the electoral process that was scheduled for 27 September, following the resignation of President Ibrahim Musa Gusau, General Secretary Mohammed Sanusi, and members of the Executive Committee. Dr Emmanuel Ikpeme, the former Deputy General Secretary, has been appointed as interim General Secretary, while Dr Ademola Olajire, the Director of Media and Communications, has been appointed as interim Deputy General Secretary.

These interim measures are part of a broader overhaul of the NFF's administration, which is being overseen by the Federal Government in consultation with FIFA and CAF. The suspension of the electoral process is not intended to be permanent, as a new electoral process will be launched after the completion of the reform process.
