Ibrahim Gusau, President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), has said he is not aware of any resignation by Super Eagles coach Finidi George.

The NFF’s announcement about bringing in a new technical adviser has received mixed reactions, with some fans calling for the resignations of both the federation’s board members and Finidi.
Reports suggest that Finidi is particularly frustrated because the NFF leadership, during a recent meeting with the sports minister, failed to address issues like players arriving late to the camp and the lack of support for the Eagles during their recent match against Benin Republic in Ivory Coast.
When contacted via WhatsApp to confirm Finidi’s resignation, Gusau responded, “Not yet aware.”
