The President of the Nigerian football body disclosed the federation is helping the country’s fight against Covid-19
Amaju Pinnick has provided an example of how the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) will be supporting the government in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.
Pinnick disclosed the NFF has been doing a lot behind the scenes after the Ministry of Youth and Sports Development released an awareness video on Covid-19 that featured past football icons and Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa.
Some parts of the country are currently on lockdown and Pinnick has disclosed the federation will help with food items including tubers of yams.
“Behind the scene, we do quite a lot. We are going to support some of these centres even if it is buying some tubers of yams. We have to do that. Covid-19 is something that nobody expected,” he said
The pandemic is affecting the global economy, including Nigeria’s economic growth and Pinnick has admitted it will leave the federation with some tough decisions to make.
