The leadership instability affecting the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has deepened following the resignation of its president, Ibrahim Gusau, alongside several members of the federation’s executive committee.

The development comes at a difficult period for Nigerian football, with the NFF facing increasing criticism over the performance of the country’s national teams and recent setbacks in international competitions.

Reports indicate that eight of the 13 members of the NFF executive board have also resigned, raising fresh questions about the stability of the federation and the future of its leadership.

The mass departures could also affect preparations for the federation’s forthcoming elections, as the NFF faces growing concerns over the direction of Nigerian football.
