President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Ibrahim Musa Gusau, has resigned from his position, alongside several members of the NFF Executive Committee, amid mounting pressure over the administration of Nigerian football.
The resignation comes after a difficult period for Nigeria’s national teams, including the Super Eagles’ failure to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the historic failure of the Super Falcons to qualify for the 2027 Women’s World Cup.
The NFF leadership has also faced scrutiny over the management of a ₦17 billion Federal Government intervention fund, with security agencies reportedly examining documents relating to its utilisation.
The leadership shake-up could also affect the NFF’s planned September 27 elective congress in Lafia, Nasarawa State, with questions now emerging over how the federation will be managed ahead of the election.
