NFF extends tenure of Katsina FA board
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has approved the extension of the tenure of the executives of the Katsina State Football Association (FA) to September 2023.
Nasir Sani-Gide, the spokesperson for the Katsina FA, who confirmed this on Thursday in Katsina, said the original tenure ended on June 22. He said the extension was announced in a letter dated June 16, 2023, signed by the state’s FA secretary Abubakar Galadima.
He said the extension was granted following an emergency congress by the board where a vote of confidence was passed on the Aminu Balele-Kurfi-led board.
The board resolved to extend the FA executives’ tenure to give them the time to conduct free, fair and all-inclusive elections.
