The President of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Ambassador Chris Giwa has revealed why the present Executive Committee wants to move into the Sunday Dankaro House at the Package B of the Abuja National Stadium this week.

Giwa stated this when he led some of his Executive Committee members to assess the state of the Sunday Dankaro House completed over six years ago.

“I have directed the Acting General Secretary, Dr Emmanuel Ikpeme to call the contractor handling the job to resume work immediately,” he
stated.

The President noted: “it’s a good structure we have here and we must break the procrastination syndrome of moving into this place, and that is why I want to move in fast before I fall into the same trap.”

“We must move in as soon as possible, even if I have to be the first to move in, while the work is ongoing, if we do not take the bold step, the building will continue to degenerate,” Giwa opined.

On the the FIFA Goal Project site, he stated that ” the Federation must try to maintain our facilities to ensure they are in good use, and the physiotherapy equipment we have there should be put to good use because it is one of its kind in Abuja.

The President was conducted round by the Acting General secretary, Dr Emmanuel Ikpeme. Other members of the Executive Committee on the tour are Yahaya Adama, Otunba Dele Ajayi and Hon. Sani Fema.

Meanwhile, the NFF President has approved the appointment of Deputy Editor, Sportinglife Newspapers, Ejiro Baba-Femi as media officer of Super Falcons.

Ejiro Baba-Femi had been Super Falcons Coordinator, and former media officer of Falconets.

She is expected to bring her wealth of experience to bear in managing the information of the team as they prepare for the defence of their African Women Championship title in Ghana later this year.
