Sports Minister blasts NFF after World Cup fiasco

Date:

Ibrahim Gusau endured most probably his most uncomfortable four hours since he was elected president of the NFF as Sports Minister John Enoh ripped through the bungling football federation as the chances of Nigeria qualifying for the 2026 World Cup are now in complete shambles.

Thursday morning meeting with top NFF officials and Super Eagles coach Finidi George was at the instance of the Sports Minister.

It was meant to be a routine parley as the minister and the NFF have so far enjoyed a cordial working relationship.

It turned out not to be so as he did not spare the NFF or Finidi when he read out the riot act.

“The Minister was clearly upset, disgusted, with how Nigeria’s campaign to qualify for the World Cup has gone so horribly wrong,” a source told SCORENigeria

“He has always been known to be a gentleman, but he was not nice at all on this day.

“He left no one in doubt that this has impacted negatively on his tenure as minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria particularly at a time the Presidency is assessing the performance of the members of the Federal Executive Council,” the source added.
