The NFF led by Ibrahim Musa Gusau have promised new boards within one month for the various Nigerian leagues including, the NNL, the NWFL, and the NLO.
Contrary to its earlier announcement that it would set up new boards for the various Nigerian leagues, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has confirmed that the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) would be exempted.
Unlike the other leagues, the NFF after assuming office in October 2022, set up an interim committee to run the men's top-division league.

Since the incumbent NFF President Ibrahim Musa Gusau took office in September last year, new boards in the various Nigerian leagues are yet to have been established.
