THE 79th General Assembly of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) will take place in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State on Sunday, the body has confirmed.
“The annual plenary of Nigeria’s football governors at all levels will commence with an opening ceremony that is expected to be graced by His Excellency, Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State, Minister of Sports Development, Senator John Owan Enoh, and the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry, Alhaji Ismaila Abubakar,” the NFF said in a press release made available to Naija Times today.
“President of NFF, Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau, will, alongside the Executive Committee that he heads, welcome the delegates composed of chairmen and secretaries of the 44 members of the NFF (including FA chairmen and secretaries of the 36 States and the FCT). Also expected are members of the Akwa Ibom State cabinet, eminent football stakeholders and NFF management and staff.’
“The business session, which begins after the opening ceremony, will kick off fully with an address by the NFF President, and such regular matters such as suspension or expulsion of members (if applicable), activity report of the General Secretary, presentation of the consolidated and revised balance sheet and profit-and-loss statement, approval of the financial statements and the budget, and admission for membership (if applicable) are on the agenda.”
Part of the agenda on the general assembly are votes on proposals for amendments to the statutes, the regulations governing the application of the statutes and the standing O
orders of the General Assembly (if applicable), and discussion of proposals submitted by the members and the Executive Committee, the NFF noted.
After the conclusion of the assembly, the delegates and other invited guests and stakeholders will proceed to the Godswill Akpabio Stadium for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier between the Super Eagles and Sao Tome and Principe at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, which kicks off at 5pm.
The Super Eagles are already through to the AFCON scheduled for Cote d’Ivoire in January and February next year, and a draw against the bottom team in the group will ensure Jose Peseiro’s side finish on top.
Guinea-Bissau, who have also qualified, are two points adrift of Nigeria and host the Leone Stars of Sierra Leone in Bissau also on Sunday.
