Mr Solomon Dalung, the Sports Minister has ordered an audit of the Nigeria Football Federation accounts as a result of FIFA's suspension of further grants to the body.
It was gathered that FIFA had given $1.1 million dollars to the body.
Mr Dalung reportedly said, “I received a report from the NFF
intimating me of FIFA’s audit report, which queried the management of
$1.1m FIFA’s development grant to the NFF,”.
“According to the report, FIFA has
withheld all development funds to the Nigeria due to a lack of proper
documentation of $802,000 out of the funds released to the NFF.
“This is a very serious issue that must be given an urgent attention to avoid another international embarrassment.
“To this end, the NFF is directed to
immediately provide my office with detail information of receipt,
disbursement and application of the FIFA development grant accordingly.
“In addition, a reputable audit firm
should be appointed urgently to check the account books of the
federation to ensure that funds are judiciously expended.
“The audit report must be made public so as to promote transparency, build credibility and enhance your market value.”
