The visiting President of world football governing body, FIFA, Gianni Infantino, Monday said he was not aware of any crisis rocking the Nigerian Football Federation.
Infantino was reacting to question posed to him at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari.
“I don’t think there is any crisis in football management in Nigeria.
“There is an elected president in place and he is functioning.
“In a big country like Nigeria, you are bound to see opposition; that’s what you see,” Infantino said.
He said in his meeting with Buhari, he discussed about football development in Nigeria.
“I have had some intense discussion on football in Nigeria and Africa. We discussed how we can best develop football in Africa because there are talents, potentials and passion to do great things in football in Nigeria and Africa,” he added.
The FIFA President said he had the mandate to ensure accountability and transparency in the organisation as well as develop football.
