The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has addressed recent reports and speculations regarding possible amendments to its Statutes.
In a statement released by the NFF, the football house clarified that there are no plans to amend the NFF Statutes at the 2025 Annual General Assembly, scheduled for 27 September 2025, despite reports in some sections of the media.
Any suggestions to the contrary, it stated, are unfounded.
