World football-governing body Fifa has endorsed the plan by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to hold a general assembly on August 26 to consider and approve a new roadmap for elections into the football federation's executive committee.
In a letter dated August 21, addressed to NFF president Alhaji Aminu Maigari and signed by Fifa’s Deputy Secretary General Markus Kattner, the Zurich-based body also approved of the proposal for the general assembly to decide on the composition of the electoral committee and the electoral appeals committee.
“We take note of the decision of the NFF Executive Committee to ask the members of the upcoming congress on 26 August 2014 to consider a new roadmap for the elections, which should be held by no later than two weeks after the congress.
“We also understand from your correspondence that the members of the congress will also decide on the composition of the electoral committees whose legitimacy had been put in doubt by some members.
“The congress being the highest decision-making body of any football association, we approve of the above plan, and as previously stated, we are supportive of an electoral process that is free and open to everybody, thereby fulfilling the requirements of the NFF regulations,” the letter read.
