The chairman of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) electoral committee Aikhunegbe Anthony Malik (SAN) has declared that his team are ready to accomplish the task at hand with utmost integrity and credibility, saying transparency and diligence will be their watchwords.
Speaking after the Congress of Nigeria Football constituted his committee and election appeals committee in Lagos during its Annual General Assembly, Malik assured that the business of giving Nigeria a new NFF Executive Committee will be done without fear or favour, and within the 42–day time-span.
The former special assistant to the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Malik was the best graduating student in library, archival and information studies at the University of Ibadan in 1993.
At its 77th Annual General Assembly on Thursday, the NFF Congress set aside the provisions of the NFF Statutes 2010 and the NFF Electoral Code 2009 that provide for a certain duration between the time of constitution of the Electoral Committee and the conduct of elections. This enabled the Congress to set up both the Electoral Committee and the Election Appeals Committee with a mandate for the conduct of elections on 30th September 2022 in Benin City.
Other members of the committee are Justice Abdulkadir Zakarriya (Vice Chairman), Babatunde Ogala – SAN – (Member), Daha Umar Daura – Danburam – (Member) and Gambo Mamman (Member), while Barrister Ifeanyi Dikeand Barrister Ransom Ariyo are alternate members.
