NFF confirms Sanusi’s re-appointment as general-secretary

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), yesterday, officially confirmed the reappointment of Dr Sanusi Mohammed as the secretary-general of the federation, for another term of three years.
 
Sanusi, who joined the NFF as a contract staff in 2007, was first appointed the general-secretary of the federation in 2014 following the exit of Musa Amadu from the position.

Reacting to the development, yesterday, world football-ruling body, FIFA, congratulated Sanusi through a letter signed by its Secretary-General, Mattias Grafström.

The letter reads inter alia: “I am very pleased to extend my warmest congratulations on your recent appointment as General-Secretary of the Nigeria Football Federation. This role is essential to the governance, daily operations, and long-term success of your association, and your expertise will be instrumental in advancing your federation’s goals in Nigeria and Africa.

“To this end, our Chief of Member Associations, Elkhan Mammadov, together with Gelson Fernandes and the entire FIFA team, are at your disposal to support you in this new role. Through our different programs, they are here to collaborate with you and your team on any inquiries related to the development of your member association and your interactions with FIFA. I look forward to meeting you in person in the near future to discuss how we can work together to reinforce our shared mission and make football accessible and inspiring for all communities in Nigeria and around the world.”
