“A good working synergy is already on between the NFF and the Sports Ministry.
“It is also very interesting to inform you that Gusau already opened his doors for wide consultations with some of the aggrieved football stakeholders. No matter their grievances, the door is wide open for amicable resolution of the root cause of their agitations.
