Dr. Sanusi Mohammed, General Secretary of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has admitted that the relief fund expected from FIFA will be used according to the guidelines from the world football governing body and as such not one that can be diverted to other purposes with a thorough process that FIFA itself monitor and wants to be accounted on how it was spent.
“Once the money is received from them (FIFA), we will use it for the purpose it is meant to serve, we also have developed a system whereby even after they say do this do that by the time we finish we also send it to them and ask, this is what we have done, is it in order for us to go ahead? Once they give the go-ahead we will do what exactly we are supposed to do.”
“The account is subjected to auditing, so they will tell you how they want the money to be used and they will want to find out if you have actually followed what they said you should do with the money.”
Sanusi posited that NFF has its own machinery set up to ensure strict compliance with the terms of reference of the funds from FIFA.
