The National Executive Committee of the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) has directed all its members across the country to withdraw from covering or participating in any activity of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), including the forthcoming Annual General Assembly scheduled for Ibadan, Oyo State.
The President Isaiah Benjamin and the National Secretary Ikenna Okonkwo made this known to journalists as they expressed outrage over exclusion of SWAN from the statutory composition of the NFF Congress.
SWAN recalled that despite the Association’s consistent efforts to foster cooperation with the NFF since the emergence of the present leadership, the Federation has remained obstinate, employing divisive and destructive approaches in the management of Nigerian football.
Our Correspondent in Ebonyi State Emmanuel Nnaji reports that SWAN reiterated that the exclusion of the sporting media from the highest decision-making body of Nigerian football is unacceptable and will no longer be tolerated.
