The President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Ibrahim Gusau, and members of the federation’s Executive Committee have reportedly resigned from their positions.
The development comes amid growing pressure on the leadership of the football governing body following a series of setbacks involving Nigeria’s national teams.
Gusau was earlier scheduled to address journalists at the NFF headquarters in Abuja at 12 noon on Thursday, with reports suggesting that he would announce his resignation during the briefing.
However, fresh reports indicate that Gusau and members of the NFF Executive Committee have already tendered their resignations.

The reported development has generated widespread interest within the Nigerian football community, with stakeholders awaiting an official statement from the federation.
No official confirmation of the reported mass resignation had been issued as of the time of filing this report.
The NFF leadership has in recent weeks faced mounting scrutiny over the performance and administration of the country’s national teams, further intensifying calls for changes within the federation.
Gusau assumed office as NFF president in 2022, succeeding Amaju Pinnick, and has since overseen the administration of Nigerian football at a period marked by both achievements and controversies.
The football community is now watching closely for Gusau’s scheduled address, which is expected to provide clarity on the reported resignations and the next steps for the federation.
