The NFF presidential aspirant noted that it was pertinent to meet with stakeholders and share with them what the NFF will look like if he becomes president.

 He said “The supporters’ club should not struggle to get clearance to travel for tournaments, they play an integral part of football and we intend to make their duty easy for them to carry out.

“You shouldn’t struggle to get on board to support the Nigerian national team, after my declaration, a couple of others have also declared their interest, which means the change has started”.

Apart from being endorsed by the NFF to travel, Dr. Emeruwa noted that it’s the duty of the football governing body to secure accommodation and provide security for the supporters’ club.

Ogunjimi appreciated the CAF official for finding it worthy to share his ideas with the supporters club, and appreciated him for reckoning with them, he also saluted him for realising how valuable the supporters club is in the development of Nigerian football.
