World football governing body FIFA might eventually place Nigeria on a bigger ban today if the sacked executive members of the Nigeria Football Federation(NFF) are not brought back.

Last week FIFA placed Nigeria on an indefinite suspension,giving the country a seven-day grace to bring back the executives of the NFF led by Aminu Maigari to their positions.

A court ruling in Jos sacked Maigari and his executives,and mandated the sports minister Tamuno Danagogo to appoint a sole administration for the NFF.

But FIFA sensing a government interference warned Nigeria,giving the country a week’s grace to ratify the situation.

A government delegation was in Brazil last week to meet with FIFA,insisting that the government did not meddle in the ouster of the sacked the NFF executives.

It was being hoped that the court would have upturned the suit today(Monday) but the strike actions of judiciary workers has frustrated the efforts.

“It’s a frustrating scenario because of the ongoing strike,” an official was quoted as saying on BBC Sport

“There was no court sitting on the original date of hearing [11 July] which has stalled efforts. But the minister is hoping it will be resolved before the deadline.”

“The minister is waiting for feedback from the delegation to Brazil. He needs that before approaching the president who is also waiting for a brief and update,” he added.

It is left to be seen what will become of FIFA’s decision on Tuesday,whether there could be an extension to allow the court to sit.

What is evident is that time is against Nigeria,and the female Under-20 team,the Falconets are in danger of missing the Women’s World Cup in Canada.

I am hoping that the Nigerian government will make this situation right. It would be incredibly unfair to make the falconets pay the price of their rash decisions. These girls deserve to be playing at the U20 Women's World Cup in Canada.

To be honest if we miss the women World Cup so be it

I wish Nigeria takes FIFA to court of arbitration for sports rather than succumb to cheap bullying by FIFA

I HEARD THAT THE DEADLINE DATE HAS BEEN EXTENTED BY FIFA TO THE 17TH OF JULY. SO WE STILL GOT TIME TO DO THE NEEDFUL

i am not concern about the falconet all i am concern is about the golden eaglet who hads a qualifier game to play in congo this weekend

FiFA should Go n Die; I don't know what is wrong with that senile blatter n his excos, it seem they just enjoi being foolish; what's d thing with FiFaa n being bullys; seem they just enjoi the corruption already dwindling Naija ;
How can a corrupt official, be ousted bby a competent court of law;with apt juridiction on glaring corruption charges, n is being investigated. Be orderd to upturn their judgement for foolish n sentimental reasons dat hold no water; fever (abi Fifa) or whatever they call their selves re obviously eating more dan dey can chew; this is a clear case of standing above the law of equity and fair justice.m..
Left with me; the govt. Should just allow dem do their worse; n tek them to court ; I'm damn sure the case will be won by the FG; n they 'll be ordered to pay fine thru their noses ... Nonsense foolish fifa
Infact should d FG fail to toe this line; I'll personally ensure I tek fifa to court; they re not above d law.... (For their (fifa) own interest they better settle this amicably else they face paying tru their noses)... Nonsense
