EFCC Continues NFF Probe After Gusau's Resignation
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has announced that it will persist with its investigation into the utilization of the N12 billion Federal Government intervention fund allocated to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF). This was confirmed by EFCC spokesman Dele Oyewale on Thursday, stating, “Investigation is ongoing on the matter.” The intervention fund, approved by President Bola Tinubu in 2024, was intended to address outstanding wages and bonuses owed to players of Nigeria’s national teams.
Reports indicate that some officials associated with the funds have been interrogated by the EFCC. This announcement follows significant developments at the NFF, where Ibrahim Gusau resigned as president along with several board members.
Gusau had served for three years and 11 months and was preparing to seek re-election in September.
