There’s More Money In Football Than Oil Industry- Dalung by alade112(m): 6:24am On Jun 22, 2016
Sports Minister, Solomon Dalung, believes the
leadership crisis in Nigeria’s football has
continued to fester because “there’s more money
there than in the oil industry,” reports
africanfootball.com.
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has been
embroiled in a leadership tussle for the past two
years since elections to the executive committee
in Warri.
Dalung has now traced the crisis to the money in
the game and the many selfish interests chasing
this money, which he said is more than what is
obtainable in the oil sector where Nigeria is one of
the leading players in Africa.
“There’s more cash in football than in the oil
sector and there is so much selfish interests and
as a result we have this crisis,” Dalung said on a
Hausa interview programme broadcast by
Freedom Radio Kano yesterday morning.
“There is someone who wants to force his way as
the NFF president and that is why I have had to
order full police presence at the NFF secretariat, if
not work will not be going on there.”
Dalung also spoke on a committee headed by
former NFF president, Ibrahim Galadima, he set up
to chart a fresh path for the country’s football,
saying among other things he has been
encouraged by FIFA officials to implement the
recommendations of this advisory committee.
“FIFA officials have told me that the members of
this committee are straightforward and trust
worthy. They have finished their work and will
soon submit it to me and I hope to work with their
recommendations because they will move our
football forward,” he promised.

Right on the money there, minister.

Rex Tillerson, Patrick Pouyanné, John Watson et al have got nothing on CR7 and LM10.

Same applies going down the pyramid.
