The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has postponed its Annual General Assembly (AGM), which was initially scheduled to hold on February 14, 2026, in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.
In a notice circulated to members of the Congress, the federation disclosed that the assembly has now been rescheduled for March 26, 2026, with official letters notifying congress members of the change already dispatched.
Confirming the development, NFF General Secretary, Mohammed Sanusi, said the decision followed extensive consultations and was necessitated by unforeseen circumstances.
“We have shifted the Congress to late March in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, after wide consultations and due to unforeseen developments,” Sanusi said in Abuja.
The Congress, which is being convened outside the federation’s statutory Annual General Assembly framework, is expected to bring together members of the NFF Executive Committee, chairmen of state football associations, representatives of the various leagues, and other key stakeholders in Nigerian football.
According to sources within the Glass House, the Extraordinary Congress will deliberate on matters requiring urgent attention, including key policy issues and resolutions considered vital to the effective administration and long-term development of football in Nigeria.
Preparations for the NFF Elective Congress scheduled for September are also expected to feature prominently on the agenda. The elective assembly will usher in a new Executive Committee to oversee the affairs of the country’s football governing body.
The NFF has formally communicated the convening of the Extraordinary Congress to all stakeholders, with proposals for the expansion of the Executive Committee and Congress membership listed among the key items for discussion.
