The executive committee of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has proposed to hold an Annual General Assembly in June.  This is one of the outcomes of the meeting held this Tuesday in Abuja.

According to the communique released, the assembly will statitorily set the roadmap for the NFF elective congress. The tenure of the current executive will lapse in September.

But there are no assurances that everything will fall in place as the general assembly cannot hold except an ex parte injunction suspending it is vacated.

It can be recalled that the Annual General Assembly to set the roadmap for the next NFF election cycle was statutorily scheduled to hold on 17th December, 2021 in Lagos but an ex parte court order was served on the NFF from a Federal High Court in Bayelsa State to stop the meeting.

According to the NFF, it had since January 2022 approached the court to vacate the order and the next sitting is scheduled for 26th April 2022.
