Court Nullifies Nigeria Football Federation Board

The Chris Giwa-led board of Nigeria Football Association (NFA) has taken charge as ruled by the judiciary, a member of the board,told newsmen at the Glass House secretariat of the NFA the board has returned to power as demanded by the court and was “ready to save the Nigerian game”.

Justice Ambrose Alagoa of the Federal High Court in Jos had on Thursday annulled the Sept. 30 NFA elections in Warri.

“Immediately after the court ruling on Thursday, the board led by Giwa had met in Jos to discuss emerging issues affecting Nigerian football.

“The board consequently reviewed a number of decisions taken in recent days at the NFA, one of them being the issue of the Super Eagles’ technical crew.

“Also, the board nullified all decisions taken by the Pinnick-led team since Sept. 30. All committees appointed by the illegal NFA board have been dissolved,’’ he said.

Dallas Hospital Diagnoses First Patient With Ebola

U.S. health experts in Dallas were taking stock Wednesday of how many people may have been exposed to Ebola, just a day after the first case of the deadly virus was diagnosed in the United States, the nation's top public health official said.

The review comes even as health officials in Texas said healthcare workers tested negative for the virus and there were no other suspected cases in the state.

Health officials confirmed the first case of the virus in the United States on Tuesday, when a man who flew from Liberia to Texas tested positive for Ebola, which has killed more than 3,000 people in West Africa.
