- By Mike Oboh@oboh_ mike

Football stakeholde­rs have been called upon to give unflinchin­g support to the Amaju Pinnick led board of the Nigeria Football Federation.

Speaking to Daily Trust yesterday, the proprietor of Amakson Football Academy, Bishop Amachree said the transforma­tion of football administra­tion in the country since the new board took over was a laudable achievemen­t that deserves the support of every stakeholde­r.

Amachree said against the backdrop of criticism of the style deployed by Pinnic to administer the game in the country that only those who are foresighte­d will be able to key into the new drive in the federation.

He said that the strides being made in the Nigeria Premier League is made possible by the readiness of the board to give the administra­tors of the league the free hand to manage it as against what was obtainable in the past.

“When the nation clamoured for change in the Eagles, Pinnick and his team wasted no time in effecting the positive change that will in the shortest possible time return the country to her glorious days in football.

“Those who are shouting from the top of the roof now against supposed poor management of football in the country are not sincere

Amachree therefore called on Nigerians to support the federation to achieve its goals of taking the country to enviable height at both the continenta­l and world stage.
