NFF Loses Board Member To COVID-19
A member of the Executive Committee of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) identified as Emmanuel Ibah, is dead.
Ekohotblog gathered that the NFF Coordinator for the South-South zone died of COVID-19 on Tuesday.
NFF through a statement said Ibah was said to have underlying diabetic and hypertensive medical conditions.
NFF further stated that the Chairman of the NFF Protocols and Ceremonial Committee was always at the forefront of preparations for matches of the Senior Men National Team, Super Eagles, any time the Eagles were playing in the Akwa Ibom State capital, Uyo.
President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Melvin Pinnick, was crestfallen: “I am just lost for words. I don’t know what to say. This has been a tragic year on so many fronts. Emmanuel Ibah was like a brother. He was my colleague from the South South on the NFF Executive Committee and a very loyal and supportive person. We have lost another pillar on the Board. May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.”
