NGThe article critically examines the tenure of Ibrahim Gusau as President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), highlighting his four-year period marked by significant failures in Nigerian football. Gusau resigned amid public pressure and criticism over the NFF's performance, including the Super Eagles' failure to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the Super Falcons' loss of their streak of appearances in the Women's World Cup. The article questions why Gusau did not resign earlier if reform was needed and criticizes the NFF's lack of accountability. It also points out the decline in youth football programs, such as the Golden Eaglets failing to qualify for the FIFA U-17 World Cup and setbacks in the U-20 pathway, indicating systemic issues in scouting, coaching, and development.
Bias read (Center): The article focuses on sports performance and does not take a clear ideological stance. It critiques the NFF's management and outcomes without favoring any political group or ideology. The tone is critical of the administration but remains objective in presenting the failures and questioning the NFF
