The proposed Normalization Committee for the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is expected to conclude its assignment by May 31, 2027, subject to approval by the FIFA Council, according to a report by Nigerian journalist Osasu Obayiuwana.
The UK-based journalist said a source described as highly reliable had confirmed the proposed timeline, which has reportedly been presented to the FIFA Council for consideration.
If approved, the arrangement would give the committee until May 31, 2027, to complete its mandate and help restore normal football administration in Nigeria.

Confederation of African Football (CAF) president Patrice Motsepe is also reportedly in agreement with the proposed arrangement, although the information available does not indicate that FIFA has formally approved it.
The proposal remains subject to a decision by the FIFA Council, meaning the suggested deadline should not yet be treated as an officially adopted timeline.
Further details, including the committee’s composition, specific responsibilities and plans for returning the NFF to normal administration, have not been confirmed in the report.
