More than two months after the House of Representatives resolved to probe the use of financial grants advanced to the Nigerian Football Federation for the development of football in the country, the House Committee on Sports has yet to submit reports on its findings.
The resolution followed the adoption of a motion of urgent public importance at a plenary last year, co-sponsored by a Lagos lawmaker, Adedayo Adesola, and his Rivers State counterpart, Felix Nwaeke.
Titled “Motion to stop further misuse of FIFA and CAF grants by Nigerian Football Federation,” Adesola, who represents Apapa Federal Constituency, Lagos State, had noted that the alleged mismanagement of grants by the global football governing bodies was largely responsible for the poor outings in recent times by Nigeria’s national teams.
