Ibrahim Gusau Resigns as NFF President Amid Criticism
Ibrahim Gusau announced his resignation as president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on Thursday at the NFF Secretariat in Abuja. This decision came after days of speculation regarding the resignations of Gusau and several members of the federation’s Executive Committee, which awaited official confirmation.
During a press conference with journalists in Abuja, Gusau confirmed his departure, which follows increasing criticism from Nigerians and football administrators about the direction of the country’s football under his leadership. The NFF administration faced heightened scrutiny due to a series of disappointing results from Nigeria’s national teams, notably the Super Eagles' failure to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
