Fanny Amun steps down as chairman of NFF fact-finding committee
Former coach of Golden Eaglets of Nigeria, Fanny Amun has stepped down as the chairman of the fact-finding committee set up by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to investigate dwindling fortunes of the country’s football.
Amun who resigned after submitting the panel’s report to the NFF said that he decided to step down from the role after completing the assignment in order not to be ‘compromised’ by remaining as chairman of the committee.
He disclosed further in a statement that he told members of the committee that it would take two weeks to complete the report even though he knew it would just take him one week to get the job done.
The former NFF Secretary General said that he told his committee members that it would take that long to complete the job because he did not want anyone to influence the fact-finding committee’s decisions.
“I did not want anyone to influence the report before I submitted it to the NFF. That was why I submitted it and resigned,” Amun said.

“I told everyone, including members of the committee, that it would take two weeks, even though I knew it would not take me more than one week.
“This was because I did not want anyone to influence the fact-finding committee’s decisions. So, I decided to submit the report and resign. I am not someone who will spend more than enough time in a position,” he concluded.
The fact-finding committee was set up by the NFF on August 17 to look into the recent unwholesome poor run of the country’s male and female national football teams in international competitions.
Other member of the fact-finding committee include; Former U-20 coach Ladan Bosso, former Falcons striker, Miss Desire Oparanozie, former Super Eagles midfielder Mr. Mutiu Adepoju, Dr. Alex Mana and Mallam Nasir Sa’idu.
The Nigerian football governing body stated further that the fact-finding committee will pay specific attention to the Super Falcons’ failure to qualify for next year’s FIFA Women’s World Cup finals and other challenges besetting Nigerian football.
