“I know there won’t be a question of anyone running to any government’s official for assistance.”
The report, which aims at restructuring and rationalising government’s commissions and agencies, recommends that the Federal Government should quit funding the NFF. Speaking to The Guardian yesterday, Adelabu said though government still spends money on football in the country, but that it was high time it gave an autonomous NFF a try. He said this would also encourage interested companies to be involved in sponsoring football in the country.
“I know there won’t be a question of anyone running to any government’s official for assistance. The person running the NFF should be someone that is competent on the field and able to do the job well. He is not going to be a politician and this is going to put a lot of things into perspective. I think implementing the report is a welcome idea,” he stated.
“This will stop further debate about the controversial status of the organisation and that government stops further funding of the NFA/NFF in accordance with FIFA’s statutes,” as the Oronsaye Report suggests.
