In line with the agreement reached before Mrs Baribote agreed to withdraw the case against the Nigeria Football Federation at a Jos High Court, the Aminu Maigari-led board has commenced fence-mending measures aimed at achieving a permanent truce at the Glass House.

Sports Vanguard gathered that the Executive Committee of the NFF would soon lift the ban on Chief Rumson Baribote and all the other football stake holders who were banned by the administration.

Speaking after a meeting of the board members in Abuja, the board spokes person, Emeka Iyama told journalists that they have agreed, “as a way of carrying everybody along,” to look into the cases of all those who have been banned with a view to lifting the ban.

But he maintained that they must go through the right process.

It could be recall that the Aminu Maigari board had banned some football personalities observers believed were perceived as nursing ambitions to challenge Maigari in the forthcoming elections of the board.

Those that suffered the ban were one time secretary general of the Nigeria Football Federation and a onetime board member, Taiwo Ogunjobi, former board member, Leye Adepoju, former Nigeria Premier League chairman, Rumson Victor Baribote.

Iyama added that the August election into the executive board of the Nigeria Football Federation will be open to every qualified candidate to participate.
