The FIFA Emergency Committee decided today, 4 October 2010, to suspend the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) with immediate effect on account of government interference.

This decision follows the latest events linked to the NFF, such as the court actions against elected members of the NFF Executive Committee preventing them from exercising their functions and duties, the stepping down of the acting NFF General Secretary on the instructions of the National Sports Commission, the decision of the Minister of Sports to have the Nigerian League start without relegation from the previous season, and the fact that the NFF Executive Committee cannot work properly due to this interference.

The suspension will be maintained until the court actions have ceased and the duly elected NFF Executive Committee is able to work without any interference.

During the period of suspension, the NFF will not be able to be represented in any regional, continental or international competitions, including at club level, and also not in friendly matches. In addition, neither the NFF nor any of its members or officials can benefit from any development programme, course, or training from FIFA or CAF while the federation remains suspended.

This is fifa way of telling govt and the former GEJ banning and unbanning moves that d ultimate power rests with fifa

knowing the lilly-livered Nigeria govt, every decisions may be reversed in the next 48 hours.

But what happens to our next world cup match if the ban remains?

Act 1: Scene 1

Very good; I don't understand how administrators in Nigeria reason. All in the name of peace you change no of teams in premier league to 24!!!; meaning they will play for 46 weeks out of 52 weeks how are they going to cope with all the travelings, continental matches, logistics, etc.
