Baku – The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President, Aminu Maigari, has
called for unity among football stakeholders in the country in the interest of
the development of “the beautiful game’’.
Maigari was speaking at a meeting with some stakeholders in Baku, the Azerbaijan
capital on Wednesday, on the sidelines of the ongoing FIFA U-17 Women’s World
Cup.
He urged the stakeholders to partner with the football body in running the
business of soccer and should not be left to government alone.
 “You are stakeholders in football business and as the owners of the game, we
rely so much on you,’’ he said.
The NFF president urged those in attendance, mainly chairmen of football
associations to talk to their various state associations on the need for unity
within “the football family’’.
“Let’s work together and become one family day in day out. People expect so
much from the football family, and it depends on us to meet their
expectations,’’ Maigari stressed.
He said that the federations would not run well if there were rifts within the
ranks and if members had disagreements among themselves.
Earlier, the Chairman of Chairmen of State FA’s, Chief Effiong Johnson
welcomed NFF president and thanked him and his entourage for attending the
meeting. (NAN)
