Football NFF hits back at late Isaac Promise’s family By Editor 12 January 2020 | 3:09 am The Nigeria Football Federation says it has refrained from responding to the cacophony of falsehood and misrepresentation over its absence or otherwise from the final funeral rites of former Nigerian international, Isaac Promise because it was most concerned with the safety and well –being of his immediate family. NFF’s Director of Communications, Ademola Olajire reiterated yesterday that the Federation had always, is presently and will always show concern on issues that affect Nigerian players (active, retired or departed), and has without recourse to noise and grandstanding, done its part for the immediate family of late Isaac Promise. “The NFF has been in regular contact with, and has offered support to late Isaac Promise’s wife and children. When the player died in the United States of America, the NFF immediately contacted the club and we were assured of the responsibilities of the club, which included flying his remains to Nigeria. “However, some of his siblings outrightly expected the NFF to foot the entire bill of his burial, which we told them was not possible. The NFF offered to foot part of the bill for the burial but from that moment, they were not happy with the Federation.” Olajire disclosed that the NFF President, Mr. Amaju Melvin Pinnick, was also in contact with the Executive Chairman of the Imo State Sports Commission, Mr. Fan Ndubuoke and the Chairman of the Imo State Football Association, Mazi Amanze Uchegbulam to help make peace in the late player’s family as the siblings were at daggers drawn with his wife and children. “We know what we have done and still ready to do for the immediate family without joining in the debate going on in sections of the media. “The NFF President has approved a sum of money to be paid to the immediate family and that money will be sent to his wife in the next few days. ”On her part, the wife of late Isaac Promise has commended the NFF for its efforts since the passing on of her husband, who captained the Nigeria U20 team to runner-up position at the FIFA U20 World Cup in The Netherlands in 2005, and was also a key member of the U23 team that won silver medal in the Men’s Football Tournament of the 2008 Olympics in China. Mrs Kate Promise expressed surprise at the negative stories in sections of the media, while confirming that the NFF President indeed mandated Mr. Ndubuoke and Mazi Uchegbulam to broker between her in-laws and herself. |

Nigeria declare interest in hosting 2020 Africa Cup of Nations as national governing body label themselves 'home of women's football' Nigeria's football federation have confirmed their interest in hosting the 2020 African Cup of Nations. The Super Falcons have won the tournament as hosts on three previous occasions - 1998, 2002 and 2016 - and are also the current holders having claimed an 11th title overall in 2018. The President of the Confederation of African Football, Ahmed, told French radio station RFI that Equatorial Guinea are another nation hoping to stage the event. A host for the tournament later this year is trying to be found after Congo-Brazzaville pulled out. Speaking to BBC Sport, the NFF's director of communications Ademola Olajire said: "We've formally written to CAF about the interest to host the event. We are working on the bidding documents and we should get it over to CAF soon. "This is the home of women's football and the leading football nation in the continent. "I believe it's the right time to do it again. We've done it before and we believe it will be like bringing it home again." Nigeria will find out whether they have been successful in their bid to stage the 2020 competition when a final decision is made on January 15.
