In a letter dated September 25, 2019, which was addressed to the sports minister and signed by its president Harrison Jalla, NANF alleged that both the NFF and the congress have connived to loot several billions of Naira belonging
“Honourable Minister sir, you have no choice but to save our football now before the situation gets out
of hand,” the players’ union urged.
“Activate the relevant clauses in the FIFA and NFF statutes over the dissolution of the board and the congress and set up a normalization committee to restructure Nigeria Football.
“Borrow a leaf from Ghana.
“We can’t continue to sit down and watch Amaju Pinnick and his gang continue to ruin our future.”
NANF also commended the Federal Government in its committed fight against corruption.
