Nigeria Avoids FIFA Ban As Chris Giwa Stays Away From NFF Office

Nigeria has apparently escaped FIFA's hammer, after embattled NFF president Chris Giwa, failed to
show up at the Glass House today.



Instead, the federation's General Secretary, Musa Amadu, returned to the office after a two-week absence.




Giwa was given today (September 8, 2014 by 7am Nigerian time) as deadline to vacate the office or the country will be suspended.




"He is not here, and there is no indication that he will show up," Amadu told ColinUdoh.com on Monday morning. "Right now, I am in the office meeting with management staff to work a way forward so that the secretariat can function properly and our Programmes can continue leading up to elections this month.


"I hope it continues this way in the interest of peace in Nigerian football."




Amadu also confirmed that he will send a report to FIFA at the close of business on Monday.




"The first report will go out to FIFA at close of work today, but there will be a caveat for further reporting in case there is a change of circumstances."
