The President of Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick, says there are plans by the federation to move to their new secretariat, the Sunday Dankaro House in January 2020.
The federation has been operating at the Glass House which they share with the Federal Road Safety Commission.

Anthony Joshua could be forced to vacate either his WBO or IBF world heavyweight belts after both organisations named mandatory challengers.
Former undisputed cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk is the WBO’s mandatory, while the IBF named Kubrat Pulev as theirs.
Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn wants his fighter to defend both belts, with a view to securing a unification bout with either Deontay Wilder or Tyson Fury but the Matchroom chief has revealed that one of the titles may need to be vacated.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has welcomed the idea of the United States government placing Nigeria on a special watch list for having “engaged in or tolerated severe violations of religious freedom”.
But the Federal Government has strongly kicked against the move.
Special Assistant to the CAN President, Adebayo Oladeji, disclosed this in a statement issued on Sunday.
According to the statement, although the group is not displeased with the fact that Nigeria is being listed for such, it is glad that the global community is not unaware of such realities.
The list, according to US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, contains countries like Burma, China, Eritrea, Iran, North Korea, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan.
Constitutional lawyer, Fred Nzeako said the US report does not reflect the true position of things in Nigeria.
The Central Bank of Nigeria has reviewed downward electronic transfer and ATM fees as well as card maintenance fees.
The CBN reduced cash withdrawal charges from other banks’ Automated Teller Machines ATM from N65 to N35 after the third withdrawal within a month.
The new charges are contained in the latest Guide to Charges by Banks and Other Financial Institutions just released by the CBN.
The new guideline signed by the CBN Director, Financial Policy and Regulation Department, Chibuzo Efobi showed a downward review for electronic banking transaction charges to align with market developments.
According to the CBN, bank customers will now pay N10 for electronic transfers below N5, 000, and N25 for electronic transfer between N5, 000 and N50,000.
The new directive is set to take effect on the 1st of January, 2020, in furtherance of CBN’s quest to make financial services more accessible and affordable to various stakeholders in the economy.
