GUSAU, THE NEW NFF BOSS, REVEALS HIS FUTURE PLANS AND THE WELFARE OF HIS TEAMS

Ibrahim Gusau, the new President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), is determined to run an inclusive administration, promising to prioritize player welfare.

Gusau took over as NFF president from Amaju Melvin Pinnick on Friday in Benin City, Edo State, after a hotly contested election.

In the competition, the former Zamfara State Sports Commission chairman defeated Shehu Dikko, Seyi Akinwunmi, Abba Yola, and Peterside Idah.

The 58-year-old will now oversee Nigerian football for the next four years.

"Administration at every level, that of football inclusive, requires the wisdom to be able to listen to everyone who has an idea and then pick the very best to deal with each situation at hand. Those of us in the Executive.

"We will run an inclusive administration in which ideas and advice will be welcome from all quarters, and will be guided in our resolutions. It is very important to resuscitate the League and engender a massive football economy from which every stakeholder can benefit and also be happy to contribute to its growth."

The new NFF executive committee will hold its first meeting this week.
