The National Sports Commission (NSC) endorses Dr Emmanuel Ikpeme as interim General Secretary of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) following the resignations of President Ibrahim Musa Gusau, General Secretary Mohammed Sanusi, and members of the NFF Executive Committee on Thursday.
Ikpeme, who had been serving as the NFF’s Deputy General Secretary, is tasked with overseeing the NFF Secretariat in the interim. Sources report that the NSC’s decision is aimed at maintaining continuity in football administration while the federation’s leadership positions remain vacant.
Across outlets, the core details align: the resignations trigger a shake-up, and the NSC endorses Ikpeme to step in temporarily. One outlet also describes the broader administrative response, including suspension of elements of the election process, while another highlights that the NSC appoints leadership coverage beyond the NFF Secretariat, including interim arrangements for the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).
