NFF lifts 15-year ban on Baribote, three others
he Executive Committee of NFF made the resolution after its meeting held at the NFF Secretariat, Abuja on Tuesday (today) to discuss salient matters concerning Nigeria football.

Baribote was banned by an investigative committee set-up by the NFF's Executive Committee led by the removed President, Aminu Maigari from all football activities for 15-years.

Others who have their bans lifted were Olaleye Adepoju, Jarrett Tenebe and Olajide Fashikun.

According to a communiqué signed by Communiqué Drafting Committee Chairman, Emeka Inyama: “After exhaustive deliberations, the Committee unanimously decided to lift bans of various lengths placed on the following members of Nigeria football family: Chief Rumson Baribote, Barr. Olaleye Adepoju, Mr. Jarrett Tenebe and Mr. Olajide Fashikun.

“The ban on former Member of NFF Executive Committee, Chief Taiwo Ogunjobi will be lifted once communication is received from the Court of Arbitration for Sport that he has withdrawn his case. Other banned persons will have their cases reviewed as soon as they appear before the Committee,” the Communiqué read in part.

NFF said consequently, Barr. Olaleye Adepoju will, with immediate effect, retake the Chairmanship of Oyo State Football Association and his seat on the Executive Committee of Nigeria Football Federation, while Chidi Ofor Okenwa retakes his seat as Chairman of Enugu State Football Association.

It however, pointed out that the lifting of ban placed on Baribote is as far as football –related activities are concerned, and does not restore him to his former position of Chairmanship of NPL.
