NFF Sets Up Technical And Development Committee

The newly constituted technical and development committee of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) was on Thursday inaugurated at the NFF Secretariat in Abuja.

The committee also held its inaugural meeting same day.

Represented by the NFF General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, NFF President Amaju Pinnick hailed the composition of the committee and charged them to bring their wealth of experience to bear so the country can have a good footballing year in 2018.

“The NFF leadership took its time to compose this very important committee, and this is evident in the calibre of people we have in this room. Your responsibility is indeed huge because the National Teams must not only maintain their good showing of 2017, but must perform even better this year.

“Nigerians will not take excuses for poor showing by any of the National Teams. The ball is now in your court to fashion policies and programmes that will guarantee great performances by our teams internationally.”

Responding on behalf of members of the technical committee, the chairman of the committee, Alhaji Yusuf Ahmed ‘Fresh’ gave assurances that the committee would strive hard to ensure the national teams perform better than previous years.

“I am excited that we have juggernauts in this committee; people who have seen it all and have much to contribute to the development of Nigerian Football. On behalf of the committee, I make bold to say that we will work assiduously and energetically, and bring our experience to bear in steering the National Teams to higher glory.”
