NFF President Extends Tenure Of IMC Team
President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Ibrahim Musa Gusau, has extended the tenure of the Interim Management Committee (IMC) of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL), till the end of the 2022/2023 season.
Gusau said he decided to extend the IMC’s tenure in order to allow the team to concentrate fully on the organisation and management of the ongoing NPFL season, which is only heading to its 3rd Match day this weekend.
It can be recalled that the NFF President had inaugurated the IMC of the NPFL, headed by Gbenga Elegbeleye, on 21st October 2022 with an initial mandate of three months, and a slew of terms of reference aimed at engendering a new life generally for Nigeria’s elite football division.
At the Draw Ceremony for the new season, staged on 28th December 2022, the NFF President had thumbed up the IMC for the tremendous work it had been doing since inauguration and assured it of NFF’s support in turning around Nigeria’s domestic League for the better, including fostering a viable football economy.
Due to time factor, the IMC opted for an abridged format for the 2022/2023 NPFL Season, with 10 Clubs in Group A and 10 Clubs in Group B. The current season is scheduled to end in May 2023.
