In a bid to avoid the impending ban on Nigeria Football Federal (NFF), the Federal Government had reportedly contacted FIFA over the weekend assuring it that Amaju Pinnick and his executives were in charge of football affairs in the country.
According to KweséESPN the government sent a letter to FIFA concerning the faction that was in charge of football in the country.
The report also said the government assured FIFA that football in the country was being run, and would continue to be run — in full compliance with FIFA Statutes.
