The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has approved the extension of the tenure of the executives of the Katsina State Football Association (FA) to September 2023.

Mr Nasir Sani-Gide, the state FA spokesperson, confirmed this on Thursday in Katsina.

He noted that the original tenure ended on Thursday, June 22, 2023.

According to him, the extension was announced in a letter dated June 16, 2023 and signed by the state’s FA Secretary, Mr Abubakar Galadima.

He said the extension was granted following an emergency congress by the board where a vote of confidence was passed on the Aminu Balele-Kurfi-led board.

They resolved to extend the tenure of the FA board executives to enable them to have the time to conduct free, fair and all-inclusive elections.
