The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has said local football will be back once the Government gives the go-ahead.

While other African nations like Kenya and Angola have decided to end their league campaigns, Nigeria has decided to wait while the government faces the Covid-19 challenges.

“The NFF will liaise with the heads of the various Leagues (Nigeria Professional Football League; Nigeria National League; Nigeria Women Football League and; Nigeria Nation-wide League One) and other important stakeholders on the return of the domestic football season, subject to announcement by the Federal Government on resumption of football and other sporting activities in the country,” a statement read.

The briefing also took the moment to touch on coach Gernot Rohr’s contract situation. The German’s deal ends at the end of June and indications have confirmed a new deal will be signed.

“The General Secretary (is) to liaise with the Super Eagles’ Technical Adviser, Mr. Gernot Rohr with a view to concluding all matters around Mr. Rohr’s new contract within the next one week,” the statement added.
