THE President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau, has been elected as the 1st Vice-President of Zone B of the West African Football Union (WAFU).
The election was held in Niamey, Niger Republic today, on the sidelines of this year’s CAF African Schools Football Championship (WAFU B qualifying tournament) taking place in that country.
Ghana Football Association President Kurt Edwin-Simeon Okraku was elected President of the zone, while Oumarou Sawadogo, President of the Burkinabe Football Federation, was elected as the 2nd Vice-President.
The WAFU B zone is made up of seven countries — Nigeria, Togo, Benin Republic, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Niger Republic and Cote d’Ivoire.
Gusau, who became NFF President in September 2022, has served in several high-level capacities in African football, including being on the Organising Committee for the African Nations Championship (CHAN), and serving as a top security officer of both FIFA and CAF.
