This 2026 Elective Congress of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) earlier scheduled for September 26 in Lafia, the Nasarawa State capital, has been shifted by 24 hours. The Elective Congress usually ushers in new members into the Executive Committee of the NFF for the next four years. Gusau said following interactions with the Confederation of African Football (CAF), the date agreed for the match is September 26 2026. He said it will be highly impossible for a number of candidates in the election, who will be at the match, to make it to Lafia the following morning in time for the Elective Congress. A member of the Congress moved a motion in line with the proposal, and it was immediately seconded, putting a seal on the new date.
