FormerChairman, House of Representatives Committee on Youth and Sports DevelopmentGodfrey Gaya has described the decay in youth football to the negligence by theNigeria Football Federation, NFF who are more interested in the Super Eaglesthan the cadets which is the pillar of football development.
Gaya,who made this known in Abuja, said that the attitude of glasshouse managers israther unfortunate.
Heexpressed surprised that Nigeria can no longer be reckoned with in CAF/FIFAorganised youth competitions because the current board of NFF is simply payinglip service to grassroots football.
TheFormer Lawmaker further said that if the current board of NFF did not takeurgent steps to address the deteriorating fortunes of youth football, Nigeria willsoon disappear in world football.
Gayaalso urged the federation to reintroduce winning bonuses and other entitlementsat the youth level which is scrapped by the present board.
