According to a communiqué issued at the conclusion of its Executive Meeting on Monday, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) plans to reconstitute the boards of the various league bodies under its supervision in May.

According to the statement, the board decided to revitalize the domestic game in order to improve best practices as enshrined in its statutes.

 “In order to further rejuvenate the domestic game, the Board took a decision that within the next one month, the Federation should, through its governing structure best practice and as enshrined in the Statutes, constitute boards for the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), the Nigeria National League (NNL), the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) and the Nigeria Nationwide League One (NLO).

Similarly, the NFF, which has been troubled by the vexed issue of agents and football merchants around the various national teams and their debilitating effects on team performance in recent years, has vowed to impose harsh sanctions on anyone caught aiding or abetting, dealing, perpetrating, or perpetuating the ignoble activities of these nefarious individuals, regardless of their roles, status, or pedigree.
