The factional Congress said they were obeying the orders of Fifa for the reinstatement of the Aminu Maigari-led executive board of the NFF, Goal learnt.

Fifa in a statement published on its website on Wednesday asked for the NFF's leadership as composed at the 25 August 2014 be restored with immediate effect after issuing an order for the Chris Giwa-led Board to quit office on or before 8th September, 2014.

Fifa also directed the Maigari-led Board to take charge of drawing up a road-map for fresh election in a yet to announce convenient date.

"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,” part of the Fifa's statement read.

Maigari has said he would organise elections into the NFF in 2015.
