President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick, has ordered that an internal inquiry be instituted immediately over the “error” that led to its sandctioning by the world football body, FIFA.
Mr PInick said this in a statement by the NFF on Tuesday, while admitting the mistake on the part of body (NFF), and accepting the position of FIFA on the matter.
“We accept the decision of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee to fine the NFF and award the match to Algeria.
“However, this is a grave error, and somebody must be punished. We apologize to Nigerians for this and assure that this will not in any way derail or even distract us in our well – laid plan to ensure that the Super Eagles have a great outing in Russia.
“At the same time, I want to assure that persons responsible for this slip would not be given just a slap on the wrist.
