President of the Senate,
Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt.
Hon. Yakubu Dogara are the latest eminent figures to congratulate NFF President
Amaju Pinnick on his recent elevation in global football administration.
In a letter that he
personally signed and addressed to NFF General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi,
Nigeria’s number three man, Saraki wrote: “On behalf of the Senate and the
National Assembly, I extend warmest compliments to you and the Nigeria Football
Federation (NFF).
“I wish to also
congratulate the NFF on the election of its President, Mr. Amaju Melvin Pinnick
into the Executive Committee of the Confederation of African Football and his
earlier appointment as a Member of the Organizing Committee for FIFA
Competitions.
“We commend Mr. Amaju
Pinnick for his valuable contributions to the development of sports in
Nigeria.”
In his own letter, Rt.
Hon. Dogara wrote, inter alia: “This is a testimony not only of your
commitment, dedication and professionalism in the administration of our
football sector but also the recognition of Nigeria as a big player in
international football.
“I have no doubt in my
mind that you will add value through this appointment by creating sustainable
progressive change in the Committees both at CAF and FIFA levels.”
Pinnick was also last week
appointed the President of both the Organizing Committee for the Africa Cup of
Nations and the CAF Media Committee.
