The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on Tuesday announced that former chairman of the defunct Nigeria Football Association (NFA), Ibrahim Galadima, would be the Match Commissioner in the eagerly awaited friendly between the Super Eagles and Leone Stars of Sierra Leone in Lagos on Wednesday.
NFF Technical Committee boss, Chris Green, said the appointment was in recognition of Galadima’s robust credentials as a sports and football technocrat and that the Kano State former commissioner for sports has already accepted the role.
The idea was muted by NFF President, Aminu Maigari, who called up Galadima alongside Green and he accepted to take the role. Confirming the development, Galadima said anything he could do to move sports and football forward in the country he would do, hence his acceptance of the role of match commissioner. He said: “It’s a call to service and we’re always up for such national and international duties.”
He is expected in Lagos this morning for the game scheduled for 7p.m (Nigerian time). The NFF has already forwarded Galadima’s name as Nigeria’s replacement for the disgraced Amos Adamu in the CAF Executive Committee seat.
