NFF to resume top-level coaching courses after CAF approval
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has been readmitted into the CAF A Coaching Convention, allowing it to resume CAF A coaching courses after a long break. The last CAF A Licence course in Nigeria was held in 2017. Officials like Terry Babatunde Eguaoje and Mohammed Sanusi have highlighted the significance of this development for coaching education in the country. The NFF is also planning further programmes for both male and female coaches.
