NFF Plans To Support Nigerians With Food As Lockdown Is Extended

The President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick, has pledged to support Nigerians with food during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Speaking on Channels TV, Pinnick noted that it was the federation’s way of supporting the federal government in the fight against the pandemic.

“Behind the scene, we do quite a lot. We are going to support some of these centres even if it is buying some tubers of yams.

“We have to do that. Covid-19 is something that nobody expected,” he said.

Nigeria currently has 343 cases of the coronavirus as at Monday night.

It has led to President Muhammadu Buhari extending an initial two-week lockdown by another 14 days.
