NFF to Spend Not Less Than N5 Billion Next Year.

Officials of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have disclosed about N5 billion will be spent in 2014 as the nation plans to build on the successes recorded in the previous year.

A member of the NFF Annual General Assembly (AGA) and Bayelsa Football Association chairman, Lucky Gospel Ewa, disclosed this to MTNFootball.com in an interview at the end of the congress.

The budget of the NFF in the outgoing year was N1.2 billion with the bulk of this sum covering the country’s participation in the 2013 African Cup of Nations (Afcon) in South Africa last February.

The huge budget has been called for due to some major engagements lined up in the year ahead, most notably the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, Ewa noted.
