Nigeria beats FIFA deadline, Maigari to return
The court in Jos that pronounced the current Nigeria Football Federation board null and void has vacate the notice and made for the dissolution of the board has been quashed. Justice Lot vacated the order restraining Aminu Maigari, NFF president from running Nigeria football.
FIFA had demanded that all court cases must be withdrawn and it seems that the Federal Government prevailed on Mrs Rumson Baribote, the instigator of the court case, to withdraw the suit so that the deadline of July 17 (today) given by FIFA would not expire.
It is now expected that Maigari and his board will return to office today until at least August 28, when the
general congress of the NFF will meet and new elections will be held.
