A retired Nigerian Judge, Ayotunde Phillips, has been
appointed into the newly-constituted FIFA Ethics Committee at the Congress of
the world football governing body taking place in Manama, Bahrain.
The 68-year-old who studied law at the University of Lagos,
was called to the Nigerian Bar in 1974 and spent her compulsory National Youth
Service Corps year in the then East Central State of Nigeria.
The new FIFA appointee was the fourth female Chief Judge of
Lagos State.
She retired from the High Court Bench in July 2014 upon the
attainment of the statutory retirement age of 65 years.
She had by then served the Lagos State Government for 38
years out of which 20 years were spent on the High Court Bench.
Justice Ayotunde was the Chairman of the Lagos State Independent
Electoral Commission until her latest appointment.
The Nigeria Football Federation has already congratulated
her.
The Federation, via its Twitter account, wrote: “Congratulations to Nigerian Judge, Justice Ayotunde Phillip who has just been appointed into the FIFA Ethics Committee.”Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
