Before Jonathan Continues To Bail Out NFF by ROCE: 9:45pm On Dec 10, 2013 |
In November 2012, the Nigeria Football Federation had to defend before the legislature its N4.8bn budget request for 2013 which represented about 62.5 per cent increase compared to 2012. Reasons like the cost of furniture for the new NFF secretariat (eventually launched by President Goodluck Jonathan this year), the prosecution of the African Cup of Nations in South Africa, prosecution of World Cup qualifier games among other engagements of the national teams were adduced by the NFF. Unsatisfied, Geoffrey Gaya, Chairman, House of Representatives’ Sports Committee made it clear that the NFF must properly document its sources of revenues, detailed cost estimates for matches played and flight tickets. The budget approved for the NFF in 2013 (the Budget Office still refers to it as the ‘NFA’, Nigeria Football Association) shows a total allocation of N1.9bn with personnel cost totalling about N84.6m. http://www.punchng.com/opinion/letters/before-jonathan-continues-to-bail-out-nff/ 2 Likes |

Jonathan needs to figure out why the NFF was having problems in the first place. Somebody in the Ministry of Sports is obviously corrupt. They should be exposed and sacked. Everything else is only a temporary fix. 2 Likes |

ROCE: Whilst the NFF must be given kudos for proper preparation of our teams (a factor for our recent successes) compared to past occurrences, the Federal Government must demand accountability from the federation before disbursing funds.Unfortunately, you cant give what you don't have. Is FG accountable? 1 Like |

We are doing ourselves harm when it comes to sport in this country. Must we concentrate only in budget approval of NFF. Other sport sectors like athletics, gymnastics, cycling, handball must not be neglected 1 Like |

They have come again! WHY WOULD NFF RISK THROWING ALL THEY'VE WORKED FOR BY HIRING A FOREING COACH CLOSE TO THE WORLD CUP? They are not daft! Abeg, let's allow them to sort themselves out. Too many cooks dey spoil soup! |

So minister of sport cannot control NFF and find out how they are spending the money that was allocated to them. |

Na waoh. where is all the sponsorship money from glo n guiness. after spending just 75% of the budget money they are broke even without paying salary? NFF = Cesspit of corruption. And why this talk of foreign coaches again. They will never owe foreign coach but will owe local ones is that not corruption. |
Re: Before Jonathan Continues To Bail Out NFF by alex406(m): 9:08am On Dec 12, 2013 |
Why do u need a foreign coach when we have more capable hands here. If Keshi is not capable,how come he won CAF? This greedy goats should just be reasonable. |

zicky: What is nfa doing with the money they get from globacom, Tom Tom, Guinness and other sponsorship deal, most countries football federation don't depend on govt to run der day 2 day activities Unfortunately in Nigeria everyone wants to depend on the Government. They all talk about how Government doesn't give them enough money but the money they generate internally they never get to talk about it. |

Kairoseki77: Jonathan needs to figure out why the NFF was having problems in the first place.Jonathan has no control over the NFF. Any attempt of the FG to influence or change decisions/personell would see FIFA hammer falling on us. |
