Aminu Maigari for the second time in less than a month has returned as the president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), supersport.com can report.
This follows a directive from the world football governing body, FIFA, on Wednesday that "the NFF executive committee as it was composed on 25 August 2014, meaning under the presidency of Mr Aminu Maigari, should then convene a first extraordinary general assembly as soon as possible to elect the members of the electoral committees and a second extraordinary general assembly in order to proceed with the elections of the new NFF office-bearers."
The NFF congress, however, restored Maigari and his board in Abuja on Thursday.
The Maigari-led executive committee is now saddled with the responsibility of convening two general assembly meetings "in order to proceed with the elections of the new NFF office-bearers," as directed by Fifa.
Supersport.com was informed that the NFF executive committee of Maigari has fixed September 25 as a tentative date for the elective congress.
The NFF has also proposed Abuja as venue for the elective congress.
The tentative date for the elective congress, it was learned, is in compliance with Fifa's directive to ensure that "in the shortest time possible allowed by law to proceed with the elections of new NFF office-bearers."
