FIFA has lifted the ban on Nigeriaafter having a high court sitting in Jos sacked the President of the Nigerian Football Federation, NFF, Aminu Maigari and other board members. FIFA had frowned at the court ruling, stating that the move was a government interference in football activities which can be against its policy. FIFA then directed that the new court order reinstating Maigari and other NFF executives be obtained before it may lift the ban. The brand new court order reinstating the NFF President and other executives was obtained two days ago, Tuesday July 15th, hence the lifting of the ban today. Maigari and his board will resume their duties tomorrow and stay there until next month's elections when they may be sacked through the ballot, consistent with FIFA's policies.
