NSC and NFF agree on a One year tenure extension for Supporters Club IMC
The National Sports Commission, NSC, and the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, have agreed for a one year Tenure Extension for the Supporter’s Club Interim Management Committee, IMC, after which a General Election will take place.
The decision was reached on Tuesday after a fruitful meeting held by the Director General of the NSC, Hon. Bukola Olopade and stakeholders of the various factional Supporters Groups.
The NSC and NFF agreed that the IMC led by Prince Vincent Okumagba will not stay beyond the agreed one year in office before an Election will be conducted.
It was also concluded and agreed upon by all the stakeholders that no member of the current IMC will take part in the General election that will be held next year.
The DG reinstated that all the various groups of the supporters club will only be recognised by the Commission under the current umbrella of the IMC.
” We cannot tell all of you to go deregister your various groups because we don’t have that Power but we are very deliberate to ensure we have one collective indivisible group that will at all times speak one voice, sing one song for the supporters club rather than having many factions of the Supporters club”.
” This is why the Commission under the Chairmanship of Mallam Shehu Dikko and myself as DG, will only recognise the Supporters club under the IMC in all the activities of the various Sports Federations including Football as far as they are representing Nigeria at International Competitions”.
The meeting was attended by officials of the different Supporters Groups including Prince Vincent Okumagba, who is the Chairman of the IMC, Peter Abraham, the IMC Vice Chairman, Hon Sunny Gudlong, the Secretary of the IMC while Prince Abayomi Ogunjinmi and Rev Sam Ikpia joined virtually via audio call.
