FIFA, CAF halt Nigeria football elections over governance crisis

" The move follows a major shake-up within Nigerian football, after NFF President Ibrahim Musa Gusau, General Secretary Mohammed Sanusi and members of the federation's Executive Committee resigned amid growing criticism of the country's football fortunes.

The decision comes amid reports that FIFA and Nigeria's National Sports Commission had reached an agreement on proposed reforms to the country's football administration.

The latest FIFA and CAF intervention therefore comes at a particularly difficult period for Nigerian football.
