NFF to set up Arbitration panel over election dispute on January 8

The Nigeria Football Federation will set up an arbitration panel to resolve the disputes arising from the September 30 elections on January 8.
The general secretary of the NFF, Musa Amadu, has said that the executive committee of the NFF will meet in Abuja to establish an independent body.

“I will tender the request to the executive committee of the NFF at the meeting on January 8. It is the
executive committee that will decide whether to set up an arbitration panel or not after deliberation," PromptNews quoted Amadu.

Barrister Igbokwe, who contested for 1st Vice President of the NFF in the September 30 elections, received approval from Fifa to seek redress outside a regular court after he had his appeal nullified by the majority members of the appeals committee.
Top sources said that the NFF has been given directive from Fifa to set up a panel to settle an argument from contradictory reports between the majority and minority of the appeal committee.
