Egbe Demands NFF Reform Amid World Cup Qualifying Crisis
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Telegram

In the wake of a disappointing 1-1 draw against South Africa in a critical World Cup qualifying match on Tuesday, with Nigeria’s hopes of participating in the 2026 World Cup are now hanging in the balance, FIFA-licensed match agent and sports facilities expert, Ebi Ezekiel Egbe, has urged the leadership of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to tender their resignation letters if the team fails to qualify for the prestigious tournament scheduled to take place in North America next year.
Egbe, who serves as the CEO of Monimichelle Sports and is recognised for his expertise in football infrastructure, expressed his concerns in a post on a social media platform yesterday. He called for immediate and far-reaching reforms to restore Nigeria’s status as a dominant force in African football. His vision includes unlocking the economic, social, and cultural potential of the sport within the nation.
According to him, it is essential that those in charge of football in the country possess appropriate sports-related qualifications. “Without technocratic leadership, Nigerian football will continue to stagnate despite its immense talent pool and passionate fan base,” Egbe stated.
“Reform is urgent to restore Nigeria’s position as Africa’s football giant and unlock the sport’s economic, social, and cultural potential.”

Furthermore, Egbe insisted on granting the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) full autonomy to operate professionally. This would allow for vital investments in youth academies, the appointment of technical directors, and the establishment of high-performance facilities to nurture and develop talent.

Critically, Egbe stated that the current NFF leadership should resign immediately if Nigeria does not qualify for the World Cup. However, he clarified that the leadership of the NPFL, the Nigeria National League (NNL), and the Nigeria League One (NLO) should be allowed to maintain their positions to avoid disrupting the various leagues in operation.

Egbe is advocating for a thorough investigation into the NFF’s leadership over the last decade, suggesting that any administrator found guilty of misconduct should face significant repercussions, including imprisonment, to deter future corrupt practices within the federation.
