‘Forget Fifa ban, Nigerian football needs a thorough overhaul’ – Adegboye Onigbinde speaks out on NFF crisis

The former Fifa instructor has voiced a strong disapproval at hints that the world football ruling body will clamp down on the country

In the wake of the crisis swamping the Nigeria Football Federation, chief Adeboye Onigbingbe has declared that Fifa’s statute is not above the country’s law.

The problems in the NFF resurfaced on July 2, 2018 when Chris Giwa was ordered to take over the running of the football house in respect to a ruling by the Supreme Court.

This verdict has been frowned at with some quarters stating that Fifa would ban Nigeria from international football for government interference.
