Gusau : Six Guiding Principles That Will Make Nigeria Football Better

For every system, structure, organisation to function properly and continue to work better, there must be some guiding principles put in place to ensure this reality.

And when a leader flourishes in a strenght of character, sincerity of purpose, sound professionalism, filled with capacity, humility and strong human relationship, all these attributes which clearly defines Alhaji Ibrahim Gusua, there will be no doubt that Nigeria football under his leadership will experience better years.

Gusau, a leading NFF presidential candidate ahead of the forthcoming elective congress next week in Benin City, Edo State, is very optimistic of better football fortunes for Nigeria under some guiding principles, which he will deploy for the administration of the game in the country.

These principles are to ensure that the NFF maintains high standards in the discharge of its status assigned functions among the various football stakeholders in the country and the world at large.

These following guiding principles will be the hallmark of his administration of football as he seeks the mandate of the NFF congress to become the president.

1.  Transparency

2.   Efficiency 

3.   Collaboration 

4.   Autonomy

5.   Expertise 

6.   Inclusion 
                          

According to the Zamfara FA Chairman and also the chairman of chairmen in the NFF Congress, these six guiding principles will be fully implemented to give every football stakeholder a sense of belonging and there will be a conducive environment for football to thrive better in Nigeria.

“Nigeria football will get better when we apply these guiding principles of transparency, efficiency, collaboration, autonomy, expertise and inclusion,” Gusau told the media.

To further buttress these principles, a member of NFF Congress who wants to remain annoymous said that he is fully convinced that NFF under the leadership of Gusau will implement these principles.

“I am fully convinced that these principles are what we need to make Nigeria football better and mark this, Gusau will surely implement them as he said,” the NFF Congress member from South West said.

“One major problem is that some people feels that there is no inclusion for them to be relevant in the administration of football in the country, but I can tell you that it will be different atmosphere under Gusau’s NFF presidency.

“Remember that most accountants are very thorough and Gusau is one, a very detailed administrator. Together, we will support him to make Nigeria football better,” he said.
