THE executive committee of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on Thursday approved the immediate dismissal of Alhaji Aminu Maigari as the president of the NFF.

According to the communique released and signed after the meeting held in Abuja,”After thorough and exhaustive deliberations on the uncalled-for secrecy surrounding all financial dealings of the Federation and failure to call meeting of the Executive Committee for the past eight (8) months, during which so many weighty decisions on Nigeria football had been taken by a small cabal within the Board, the Executive Committee passed a vote of no confidence on the NFF President, Alhaji Aminu Maigari.

” In view of the above, the Committee approved the immediate dismissal of Alhaji Aminu Maigari, from the NFF Executive Committee on grounds of financial misappropriation, misapplication and maladministration.”

The communique was signed by Alhaji Muazu Suleyman.

The Committee consequently resolved to mandate the first vice-president, Chief Mike Okeke Umeh as Acting President, to preside over the affairs of the Federation, pending the composition of the new NFF Executive Committee after the elections of Tuesday, 26th August, 2014.
