The Nigerian Football Federation fired its two leaders Sunday, trying to appease the West African nation’s president.

In a statement, the federation’s executive committee said it fired president Sani Lulu and vice president Amanze Ugbulam, as well as a member of the federation’s technical committee. The statement said the committee wanted apologize to all Nigerians over the team’s lackluster performance at the World Cup

That performance prompted Nigeria President Goodluck Jonathan to suspend the national team from international competition for two years.

We “passionately appeal to the president … to reconsider the earlier action of government to withdraw all the national football teams from CAF/FIFA competitions for two years,” the statement read. The federation also promised “to take urgent steps to address the ‘maladministration’ of football in the country.”Read More: http://africannewslive.com/?p=6930
