The Management and officials of the Nigeria Football
Federation (NFF) have been instructed to undergo coronavirus tests at the
federation’s secretariat in Abuja on Thursday.
Ademola Olajire, NFF’s Director of Communications, made this
known in a statement by the federation’s General Secretary, Mohammed Sanusi on
Wednesday.
The test became necessary after a member of the NFF
management tested positive to coronavirus.
“Apart from this person testing positive, Sanusi had issues
and went for tests when he was feeling ill and uncomfortable,’’ Olajire added.
He quoted Sanusi as saying, “But the truth is (that) most of
us have had contact with one another here. Thus, it is important we undergo the
tests.’’
NFF General Secretary further announced that the
federation’s offices and the entire secretariat complex would be disinfected
after the tests in line with the protocols of COVID-19, NAN reports.
He also announced that the offices would be closed for the
disinfection process after the tests, while management and staff would work
from home.
“Once the results are out, those who tested negative will
immediately resume work in the secretariat while anyone who tested positive
will be required to self-isolate for the period stipulated in the COVID-19
protocols by the Federal Government,’’ the statement added.
