FIAN appoints interim executive council

The Football Intermediaries Association of Nigeria has adopted a series of resolutions, in its bid to reposition Body towards a more regularised and professional transfer of talents within and outside the country.

At a virtual extraordinary meeting held on Saturday, March 13, 2021, FIAN members which, comprises the Nigeria Football Federation licensed, agents arrived at some drastic decisions to combat threats to the association’s development of its aims and objectives.

According to a statement by the association, the resolution, adopted by a vote of 57 to 0 of the members present, led to the impeachment of the chairman of the body’s executive committee, Ayodele Thomas.

The Congress also suspended indefinitely the financial secretary, Obidike Jideofor, the welfare secretary, Okpe Emmanuel and Mr Osasere Malachy, the assistant secretary, for failure to attend the virtual meeting.

The statement added, “In order to avoid any vacuum in the governance structure of FIAN, the Congress resolved to empower the Board Of Trustees, BOT, to dissolve the current executive council upon the expiration of their tenure on 5 April 2021. “The BOT, alongside the five-man appointment committee selected by the Congress, has been charged with the task of appointing for the association an interim executive council to steer the affairs of FIAN for six months and a maximum of one year.”
