In a significant development, former Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) president Amaju Melvin Pinnick has been appointed as Special Adviser to Confederation of African Football (CAF) President Patrice Motsepe. This appointment marks a remarkable comeback for Pinnick, who had been absent from CAF following his defeat in the last executive committee election.
The appointment was announced on Saturday during CAF’s executive committee meeting held in Rabat, Morocco, and was immediately ratified. As Special Adviser, Pinnick will have the privilege of attending all CAF executive committee meetings, further solidifying his influential role in African football.
This development is a notable turn of events for Pinnick, who has been a prominent figure in Nigerian and African football. His experience and expertise are expected to be valuable assets to CAF President Patrice Motsepe and the executive committee.
