After meetings with both parties in the last one week, the Reps delivered their verdict on the protracted crisis as they recognised Pinnick board as the legitimate group.
They said that the Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Solomon Dalung, and the Federal Government of Nigeria shall continue to recognise, work and support the NFF under Pinnick’s presidency.
