NFF boss Gusau appointed new WAFU Zone B president

Gusau thanks President Tinubu, praises ValueJet for professionalism and diligence

Ibrahim Gusau, president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), on Monday was appointed the president of the West African Football Union (WAFU) Zone B, Afrosport reports.

This follows the resignation of the Ghana Football Association President, Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku, who withdrew from the role after he was elected into the Executive Committee of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) in March.

Gusau, who has headed the NFF since September 2022, was the first vice president of WAFU B before his recent appointment.

The 61-year-old Nigerian reportedly enjoyed “strong support among the zone’s members to bring continuity and dynamism to WAFU Zone B.”

He will head the WAFU Zone B, which comprises seven countries: Nigeria, Togo, Benin Republic, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Niger Republic, and Cote d’Ivoire, which houses the body’s headquarters in Abidjan.
