Top leadership within the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has stepped down, with President Ibrahim Musa Gusau, General Secretary Mohammed Sanusi, and members of the executive committee resigning from their positions. The federation announced the departures via a statement on its website.

President Gusau confirmed his personal decision to resign during a press conference held in Abuja. These resignations come at a time of significant public and media pressure on the NFF, stemming from widespread criticism of the federation's handling of various football matters, particularly concerning the performance of the national team, the Super Eagles.

The mounting criticism suggests a loss of confidence in the current leadership's ability to steer Nigerian football effectively. The specific details of the criticism were not elaborated upon in the provided text, but the context points towards dissatisfaction with the NFF's overall management and recent outcomes.
