FIFA Updates X & Facebook Headers To Pitch Built By NFF Amid Corruption Claims by fergie001(op):
FIFA has changed its X and Facebook headers to the $1.2 million stadium built by the NFF in Birnin-Kebbi, Kebbi State

The World's football governing body, FIFA via its Forward Program (launched in 2016), reported it has spent, through the Nigerian Football Federation, about $2m in building an artificial pitch in Birnin-Kebbi and another under construction in Ugborodo, Delta State.

Football enthusiasts have called out the NFF former and present Executive for having embezzled the funds.

Summary:
Fifa gave the nff 1.2 million dollars to build a stadium in kebbi and this is what nff built, in response to the corruption calls FIFA has used the picture as Facebook cover and twitter header
What an international shame 🤦‍♂️

NFF: Monies received from FIFA & CAF are for specific purposes, and audited in every cycle


The Nigeria Football Federation finds it expedient to reiterate that the monies it receives from world football-governing body, FIFA and the continental governing body, CAF, like other Federations, are usually tied to specific purposes and not gifts to the Federations.

The NFF said on Friday that this fresh clarification has become necessary in view of misinformation by some fellows on social media that the Federation ‘collects’ millions of dollars from FIFA on an annual basis, as if such monies were gifts to the Federation.

The country’s football-governing body explained that every money received from FIFA or CAF is tied to a specific purpose, and both FIFA and CAF send their auditors to audit the accounts in which the monies are received at the end of every year.

The NFF also explained that monies meant for development purposes are usually tied to specific projects and programmes, while the FIFA Forward monies are also properly specified and under strict adherence to financial regulations, compliance, monitoring and auditing at every stage of the project or program.

FIFA Forward projects, such as the ongoing NFF/FIFA Players’ Hostel and new training pitches inside the MKO Abiola National Stadium, are subjected to strict controls, monitored and verified at every stage of the work. Every stage is verified, assessed and sanctioned before further monies are released to the FIFA-approved consultants, to whom the monies are paid directly.

The Federation called out the mischief of the individual reeling out fictitious figures on social media, saying he would find no reason to seek clout if he has an idea of how much it costs to organize a single match of any of the National Teams.

The NFF is a disciplined organization that operates prudent and strict financial protocols that are within global financial best practices. The body has regularly presented its audited account, prepared by our auditors, PriceWaterhouseCoopers (known for its global credibility and integrity) on the floor of the Congress at every Annual General Assembly.

Nigerian politicians and public servants know nothing about accountability. Neither do the people that put them in the position.

Look at the useless statement by NFF. What do they mean by "specific" projects? As if that's not exactly what the guy said in the video.

Shameless people..... Thieves!!!
If not for the negative effect it'll have in the careers of our internationals I would have wished here horses) we don't qualify for some of these FIFA and international tournaments.
Just look at how they're disgracing us left, right and center.
When we go to international tournaments, if they are not disgracing us by not paying players their bonuses they're having problems with logistics.
Most government ministries be apprentice of corruption for where NFF, NPFL, LMC, NOC. Ministry of sports dey learn work for where all these sports bodies because.

There's corruption everywhere but that of black race is not just corruption but witchcraft.
Indeed fantastically corruption.
God cannot save black race.

I don't understand what NFF are trying to input here with all this write-up. The post is confusing sef.

It still doesn't change the fact that NFF are the biggest problems to nigerian football.

Amaju really showed that football governing body in nigeria is non transparent!

Peter Obi won't give you night mare I confess but unfortunately wherever there is transparency, his name is always called and you can't remove from it....

The person you quoted was talking about transparency index of Nigeria not about which Governor built stadium....
