The Federal Government (FG) has announced its recognition of the Amaju Pinnick-led executive as the authentic leadership of the Nigeria Football Federation.

In a tweet on Monday, minutes before the 12pm deadline given by FIFA for the resolution of the leadership tussle in the Nigerian football governing body, Mr Laolu Akande, Special Assistant to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, said the government had already informed FIFA of the decision.

The FG has already conveyed to FIFA its firm position recognizing Amaju Pinnick-led NFF as the current & only NFF Exco. Govt will also continue to work with all relevant stakeholders involved to resolve dispute in a timely manner. FG is upholding NFF treaty obligations to FIFA
