  "account": "Former NFF board member reveals that the N17 billion intervention fund released by the Federal Government to the Nigeria Football Federation under the watch of Ibrahim Musa Gusau was not spent on servicing debts as claimed. The source from the Pinnick-led board insists that the Gusau board was dishonest about the spending of the money. They claim that they inherited debts that dated back to 2008 and that they worked hard to attract sponsors without any success, despite difficulties with different Sports Ministers. The source praises Pinnick for bringing in new sponsors and improving financial transparency, and states that the Gusau board should be commended for the work they did.",
