The NFF boss was reacting to the Youth and Sports minister, Solomon Dalung’s charge to the NFF to tidy up players transfer with regards to up and coming Nigerian juniors.
Pinnick said the Minister’s statement and general comments with regards to the monitoring of the players were in tandem with the plans of the Nigeria Football Federation for the glory boys.
“We said it a number of weeks ago that we are developing a framework for monitoring the career progression of these players, with a view to ensuring they sign contracts that will be in their best interests and the best interest of the nation.
“The Minister did not talk about NFF selling players, because he knows very well that the NFF is not in the business of selling players.
The NFF only issues International Transfer Certificates after due agreement between the concerned Clubs, and the player in question.
The bit about NFF selling players was never part of the Honourable Minister’s comments.”
Pinnick once more urged the media to endeavour to always put issues in proper perspective, and to support the push of the NFF for greater involvement of Corporate Nigeria in football by avoiding negative headlines.
