According to information filtering in

The technical committee of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has been described as “a source of destabilization” in the country’s football and had only succeeded in bullying and sacking national team coaches. Chris Green Former top NFF officials – Charles Ojugbana and Austin Mgbolu – raised serious concerns over the technical committee headed by Chris Green, saying the committee is one of the problems facing football in Nigeria.

“This group of people (technical committee) has hijacked football in the country. They have bullied and even sacked coaches who have gone against them,”africanFootball.com quoted former NFF spokesman, Mgbolu as saying on a television programme this week.

“They made sure they pushed out Stephen Keshi and now it is Oliseh.

“They have had overbearing influence and had shown they are a source of destabilization.

“This is a committee that should be dominated by technical experts with proven track record, not just somebody who will analyse the match between Arsenal and Manchester United.”

Ojugbana, who rose to be deputy general secretary of the NFF, echoed a similar sentiment, arguing that the NFF had totally mismanaged the appointment and subsequent resignation of Oliseh.
