The Nigeria Football Federation says the Interim Management Committee of the Nigeria Premier Football League headed by Gbenga Elegbeleye will remain in office and conclude its mandate before any decision will be taken on a board for the NPFL.
This was made known by the NFF president Ibrahim Gusau in a statement on Wednesday made available to The PUNCH.
On October 21, 2022 the IMC was inaugurated by the NFF president, with an initial mandate of three months, and a number of terms of reference aimed at engendering a new life generally for Nigeria’s elite division.
In January, the mandate was extended till the end of the current NPFL season.
Gusau added that new boards of the Nigeria National League, Nigeria Women’s Football League and the Nigeria Nationwide League One will be constituted within the next one month.
“Let me once more commend the IMC for the great job it is doing to reposition the elite division of our domestic League,” the statement quoted Gusau as saying.
“We are enamoured by the way and manner the board has gone about its mandate and everyone can see the transparency, probity and seriousness the members have attached to their tasks.
“The IMC will remain in office to complete their tenure as extended by the NFF a couple of months ago. Afterwards, the NFF Executive Committee will meet to decide on the best way forward. However, new Boards of the Nigeria National League, Nigeria Women Football League and the Nigeria Nationwide League One will be constituted within the next one month.”
