Amaju Pinnick, President of the Nigeria Football Federation on Tuesday inaugurated
the body’s new Audit Committee and the Technical Study Group at the NFF
Secretariat, Abuja, the NFF announced in a press release. Members of the TSG include ex-Super Eagles star Taribo West, Austin Okocha and Victor Agali.
“The Audit Committee will complement the efforts of our external
auditors, PriceWaterHouse Coopers, and much is expected of them,”
Pinnick said.
Pinnick also declared that the Technical Study Group would function
as a committee, collating, analysing and putting at the disposal of the
Federation, data and new thinking that can enhance the rapid development
of the Nigeria game.
“The Chairman, Alhaji Abba Yola, needs no introduction. He is someone
who has seen it all in sports administration and we thank him immensely
for accepting to serve Nigerian Football in this capacity. In due
course, members of the Technical Study Group will be attached to the
various National Teams to impact on those teams.”
On his part, Yola said: “I commend the NFF for coming up with a panel
like the Technical Study Group. We will work as a group and with the
Technical Committee, and in the interest of all the National Teams,
including the U-13.”
NFF General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, urged the committees to
route their reports through the proper channels without making public
their recommendations, while also thanking them for accepting to serve
the nation.
