The new president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau has promised to run an all-inclusive administration following his election last Friday, September 30.

The former Chairman of the Zamfara State Sports Commission believes that administration at all levels requires the wisdom and ideas of all stakeholders.

According to him, his administration will welcome the ideas and inputs from all and sundry and then settle on the best possible solution to tackle the issue at hand.

“Administration at every level, that of football inclusive, requires the wisdom to be able to listen to everyone who has an idea and then pick the very best to deal with each situation at hand. Those of us in the Executive Committee are only privileged to be representing the entire fraternity.

“We will run an inclusive administration in which ideas and advice will be welcome from all quarters and will be guided in our resolutions. It is very important to resuscitate the League and engender a massive football economy from which every stakeholder can benefit and also be happy to contribute to its growth.”

The football administrator also promised to pay close attention to grassroots football and youth development.

“It is important to prioritize grassroots football and youth development, and that we will take to heart. It is also important to win trophies, and both can go side-by-side. Winning trophies is good for our country’s image in the international sphere and also helps to motivate the upcoming stars at the grassroots level.”

Gusau polled 21 votes to emerge president of the NFF at the 78th NFF Congress held in Benin.

He defeated the likes of Shehu Dikko, Barrister Seyi Akinwunmi and others to emerge as Amaju Pinnick's successor.
