The meeting, which was held at the National Stadium, Abuja, also resolved that the Board, Management, Players and officials of the Super Eagles, and indeed every personality involved one way or the other, must work assiduously to ensure Nigeria’s qualification for the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals, to be staged in Russia.

The Committee received reports from the ad-hoc committees put in place to compose governance structures for the Nigeria National League, Nigeria Women Football League and Nationwide League One, and directed that all efforts must be made by the different Leagues to start their seasons as soon as possible.
In view of the fact that Enyimba Football Club of Aba is the only Nigerian club remaining in the hunt for continental glory this year, the Executive Committee resolved to give the team all necessary support to qualify for the group stage of the CAF Champions League.

Executive Committee praised the League Management Company for the excellent work it has been doing to improve the Nigeria Professional Football League in totality and project Nigeria football positively.

The Committee unanimously expressed unflinching loyalty to, and absolute confidence in, the leadership of Mr. Amaju Melvin Pinnick, and reiterated that the Board remains one indivisible unit.
