Court Injunction Forces NFF To Postpone Friday's AGA In Lagos

Court Injunction Forces NFF To Postpone Friday's AGA In Lagos By BSN Sports The Nigeria Football Federation NFF on Thursday morning has postponed the planned Annual General Assembly slated for Friday in Lagos. The Federal High Court sitting in Yenagoa Bayelsa state had on Wednesday stopped the Annual General Assembly of the NFF following an ex-parte order from the court. NFF Chairman of Chairmen Ibrahim Gusau on Thursday morning told fellow FA Chairmen that on account of the court order, the AGA has been shifted indefinitely. Gusau said a new date for the AGA will be announced when this order has been vacated. Some of the state FA Chairmen who had booked the return tickets to Lagos were not happy labelling it as waste of resources as the money may not be refunded by the Federation. NFF secretariat staffers involved with the AGA have also been directed not to travel again to Lagos. The Federal High Court Yenagoa has ordered the NFF not to stage their AGA following a ruling on an exparte application filed together with a motion on notice in suit No FHC/YNG/CS/133/2021 brought by a retired footballer and board member of Nembe City FC, Seigha Obiene. Both Sports Minister Sunday Dare and the Inspector General of Police have been duly served.
