Chairperson, Nigeria Women’s Football League, Aisha Falode has announced her desire to run for a position on the Executive Committee of the Nigeria Football Federation, (NFF), in the election scheduled for Benin City, Edo State, on September 30.
Falode, the only appointed female member of the current NFF’s Executive Committee, confirmed this at an event held at Ikeja, Lagos state, for her declaration of intention to run for an exco seat, Vanguard.com reports.
The sports journalist explained that her decision was out of a desire to effectively develop women’s football at both the league and national team levels.
“I want to be a real stakeholder in Nigeria Football Federation, with real stake and not limited by the status of an appointee.
“It’s better to contest and win a seat on the Executive Committee, and get on board so as to ensure the gains made in Women’s football are not watered down”, she said.
Falode added that she wants to be part of the authority to take the initiative that will push for a professionally run NFF.
