Scores of members of Management and Staff of the Nigeria Football Federation on Saturday embarked on a ‘walk’ within the precincts of the MKO Abiola National Stadium and Area 1 in the Federal Capital to raise awareness on the need to eradicate corruption in the nation’s life.
Scores of persons braved the early-morning drizzle to walk from the Football House in Package B to Area 1 and back to the MKO Abiola National Stadium through Package A, with a ringing message for those serving the country in whatever capacity to imbibe the tenets of transparency and accountability.
Directors of the Federation, including Ademola Olajire – Media & Communications; Okey Obi -Legal Services; Paulinus Anameje – Finance & Admin; and Ruth David, Competitions, and deputy directors Dr. Ayo Abdulrahaman, Rajan Zaka, Dayo Enebi Achor and Alizor Chuks were joined by several assistant directors and the rank-and-file, as well as youth corps in the exercise. NFF’s Desk Officer at the ICPC, Mr. Lawrence Abuo was also part of the exercise.
NFF General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi addressed the officers at the end of the walk, stating that the need for transparency and accountability in the administration and organization of Nigeria Football can never be over-emphasised. He praised them for their commitment to these virtues as underscored by the walk, and promised that the walk would be a regular exercise among members of Management and Staff of the Federation
