The troubled Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is expected to converge in Abuja in an emergency meeting to deliberate on the vacant seat of the Caf executive committee.
SuperSport.com has been informed that the emergency meeting of the NFF executive committee was summoned by the president of the body, Aminu Maigari at the weekend.
Maigari, it was learned, has indicated interest in the vacant executive committee seat at Caf.
The Caf executive committee is vacant following the three-year suspension of Fifa on Dr Amos Adamu after his alleged involvement in the cash-for-vote scandal.
Adamfu's appeal at Cas was thrown out and Fifa's three-year suspension upheld with part of the statement saying the punishment from the world soccer governing body was "relatively mild given the seriousness of the offence."
However, SuperSport.com learned that former secretary-general of Nigeria's football governing body, Sani Toro, is interested in vying for the vacant seat at Caf.
Also, the NFF will discuss the impending visit of the nation's sports minister, Bolaji Abdullahi, who doubles as head of the Nigerian National Sports Commission.
Abdullahi is expected to meet with Fifa president, Sepp Blatter this month in Zurich, Switzerland to discuss how to bring an end to the crisis rocking his nation's football at administrative level.
The NFF executive committee will also decide on the recommendation made by the technical committee on the roles of the technical director, Super Falcons' head coach and coach of the Under20 men's team, the Flying Eagles.
The NFF technical committee has already recommended Belgian Tom Saintfiet for the director's job while Kadiri Ikhana and Fatai Amoo are in line for the head coach jobs of the Super Falcons and Flying Eagles respectively.
