President Bola Tinubu has expressed strong support for Nigeria’s bid for re-election into the FIFA Council.
Presidential spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale, in a release issued on Tuesday stated that two-term President of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF), Mr Amaju Pinnick, was elected into the Council in March 2021 – the third Nigerian after the late Oyo Orok Oyo and Dr. Amos Adamu, is seeking re-election into the Council, and President Tinubu is supporting the bid for Nigeria to retain its seat in the Council.
The FIFA Council is the principal decision-making organ of the organization in the intervals of the FIFA Congress.
The Council comprises 37 members elected by the FIFA Congress for a renewable term of four years.
