World football governing body, FIFA, earlier today reached a decision to lift the ban placed on Nigeria on the 9th of July 2014 following a High court sitting in pleateu state in Nigeria, which dissolved the Aminu Maigari led board. This court action led to the suspension of Nigerian football teams from all international activities with a condition that Aminu Maigari and his board be reinstated before the suspension could be removed.
The minister of sports in Nigeria, Tanny Danagogo was later interviewed by the media, where he said that the lifting of the suspension by FIFA should not only be credited to him, but all the other parties involved, especially Mr. Baribote and his wife who agreed to withdraw thier case.
Mr Baribote, when interviewed, took the credit for convincing his wife to withdraw the case, saying that there were conditions reached between them and the NFF; Firstly, the 15 year ban placed on him should be removed and Secondly, his board which he claimed was illegaly kicked out should be reinstated to the NPFL and allowed to complete their tenure.
Aminu Maigari and his board will resume work and remain there till the next elections that will issue in another board, which is according to FIFA'S policies.
