We have not banned Osimhen from Super Eagles – NFF
Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, the general secretary of the NFF, expressed shock at the reports and stated that the player has not been banned from the National Team by the Federation, nor has a process been completed to do so.
Reports that the football governing body has criticized a ban on Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen from the team for his social media outburst a few days ago have been characterized by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) as blatantly incorrect.
The disclaimer was released by the federation on Wednesday in a statement.
Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, the general secretary of the NFF, expressed shock at the reports and stated that the player has not been banned from the National Team by the Federation, nor has a process been completed to do so.
“The NFF hereby implores the media to join hands with the body to positively resolve issues and then focus on the big picture all the time, rather than needlessly escalate certain matters. There was no official communication from the NFF, yet some persons have gone to town to talk about a ban on Osimhen from the National Team. This is not good at all.
“Our focus presently is to resolve all matters around the Super Eagles and be able to look ahead with confidence to the 2025 AFCON qualifiers and the remaining six matches of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification series.
“This is not the time to spread falsehood and foul the public space the more.”
