NANF Withdraw Court Case, Akosa.

The former Chairman of Nigeria Football Coaches Association, Austin Akosa, has called on the National Association of Nigerian Footballers, NANF, to withdraw the court case on the recently conducted election intothe board of the Nigeria Football Association.

Akosa, who made this statement yesterday at the Federal High Court in Lagos where the case was again adjourned to the fourth of October, NANF should have taken the case to the court of Arbitration as being streamlined in FIFA statutes, adding that it would be dignified if the issue is being resolved amicably.

He said the President of NANF, Harrison Jalla, should have informed FIFA of his Association's plight over the election and FIFA as the Governing body would have intervene and correct the normalies observed by NANF.

He called on Nigerian football stakeholders to call for a meeting where the problem would be resolved as the court case could affect the development of football because the present voard of NFA is yet to settle down for administrative work.

While reacting,Jalla, the issue was a civil matter, hence the reason NANF has taken the case to court of Law to resolve the issue since NFA has trampened upon their rights.
Jalla, said NANF was not an affiliate of NFA , thus the body has the right to conduct its election where its elected members would be presented to the new board of NFA, stressing that Nigerian international who featured at the election contested on the ground of the congress which according to him was dominated by the States F.A Chairmen.
