Former Golden Eaglets Coach and ex- Secretary General of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Fanny Amun, has resigned as chairman of the NFF fact-finding committee after submitting the panel’s report.

Amun announced that he has vacated the position after completing the committee’s assignment, saying he wanted to avoid any form of “compromise” by remaining in the role after the report had been submitted.

The committee was established by the NFF to investigate Nigeria’s recent setbacks in international football and make recommendations on how to improve the administration of the country’s national teams.

The NFF inaugurated the six-member committee on August 17, with Amun appointed chairman. Its mandate included investigating the causes of the recent poor performances of Nigeria’s national teams, with particular attention on the Super Falcons’ failure to qualify for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

The Super Falcons’ failure to qualify for the World Cup followed their quarterfinal elimination at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco and a subsequent 2-1 defeat by South Africa in the playoff for a place in the Inter-Confederations Playoffs.

Nigeria will consequently miss the Women’s World Cup for the first time since the tournament began in 1991.

Amun was joined on the committee by former Nigeria U-20 coach Ladan Bosso, former Super Falcons captain Desire Oparanozie, former Super Eagles captain Mutiu Adepoju, and former FIFA-badged referee Dr Alex Mana. Nasiru Sa’idu served as secretary.
