This latest decision was contained in a letter signed by the FIFA Secretary General, Jerome Valcke to the Nigeria Football Federation yesterday, while acknowledging an earlier letter from the NFF, which indicated that Maigari’s board had returned to office without hindrance.
“We also note that the persons claiming to have been elected vacated the premises of the NFF. Against this background, we would like to confirm that the condition set in FIFA’s aforementioned correspondences of September 3, 2014, have been complied with and that the NFF, is accordingly not suspended.
“We would also inform you that should the electoral process by any interference or mishap, the case will be referred again-and again without prior notice or warning- to the appropriate FIFA bodies for immediate suspension of the NFF until the FIFA Congress.”
Before this latest development, the NFF had been given a deadline of 8 September to ensure that the persons claiming to have been elected to NFF positions vacated the association’s premises and to confirm that the NFF General Secretary could perform his work without interference.
FIFA outlined that it now expects the NFF Executive Committee to meet as soon as possible to convene an extraordinary general assembly to decide on the roadmap leading to the elections, which should be open to all persons complying with the NFF statutes and regulations.
