World football-ruling body (FIFA ) has formally congratulated Dr Mohammed Sanusi on his re-appointment as General Secretary of Nigeria Football Federation, for another term of three years.
The letter, signed by FIFA Secretary General Mattias Grafström, read inter alia: “I am very pleased to extend my warmest congratulations on your recent appointment as General Secretary of the Nigeria Football Federation. This role is essential to the governance, daily operations, and long-term success of your association, and your expertise will be instrumental in advancing your federation’s goals in Nigeria and Africa.
“To this end, our Chief of Member Associations, Elkhan Mammadov, together with Gelson Fernandes and the entire FIFA team, are at your disposal to support you in this new role. Through our different programs, they are here to collaborate with you and your team on any inquiries related to the development of your member association and your interactions with FIFA.
I look forward to meeting you in person in the near future to discuss how we can work together to reinforce our shared mission and make football accessible and inspiring for all communities in Nigeria and around the world.”
On its part, the Sports Writers association of Nigeria (SWAN), in a letter signed by the secretary-general, Mr. Ikenna Okonkwo, stated that Dr Sanusi’s reappointment “is a clear testament of your years of dogged passion and commitment in the development of football in Nigeria and beyond. As sports writers in Nigeria, we are mostly confident that you deserve even more elevated positions in the administration of football and general sporting management both within and outside the country.”
