On Monday, Chief Michael Emeka Onwuchelu and his Nigerian Youth Economic Engagement and De-Radicalisation Programme (NIYEEDEP) Implementation Committee Team were at the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF headquarters in Abuja to pay a working visit.

The team was received by the President of the NFF, Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau in his office at the Glass House, Package B, National Stadium, Abuja.

Speaking during the visit, Alhaji Gusau welcomed the team and assured them of the NFF’s cooperation with the NIYEEDEP Implementation Committee. He said, “We are ready to work with you in any capacity. NIYEEDEP is all about the youth, likewise the Football House, so we are working towards achieving the same goal. We don’t have a monopoly of wisdom hence we are also open to ideas that can help us move our football to another level.”

The Team also met with the General Secretary, Dr Mohammed Sanusi with other senior staffs in the NFF to see how they can work together on the new project recently launched by the Senate Committee on Sports led by Senator Ned Nwoko.

The visit to NFF is the first point of call by the NIYEEDEP Team after its launch and inauguration by the Senate Committee on Sports.
