Alhaji Aminu Maigari has officially resigned as the president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), with effect from August 26, 2014.

A letter from the SA Media to the Honourable Minister of Sports, Patrick Omorodion, read: “The Bauchi-born administrator resigned as NFF President on August 12, 2014 to pave way for a peaceful resolution of the crisis that engulfed the football federation shortly after the 2014 FIFA World Cup.”

This new development happens ahead of the NFF Congress, which will be held on Tuesday in Abuja, with the elections to be conducted in two weeks.
