The Nigeria Football Federation President, Ibrahim Musa Gusau has been elected as the President of WAFU Zone B. Before now, he was the 1st Vice President of the West African sub-regional football body, having been elected in November 2024.
But this Monday, he was installed as the President following the resignation of Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku, the President of the Ghana Football Association, who left the WAFU B number one seat following his election into the Executive Committee of the Confederation of African Football two months ago.
Gusau thus becomes the fifth Nigerian to hold a top position in the West African subregional football body.
Others before him include the founding president, Joseph Kwamina Tandoh, who at the time was a vice chairman of the then Nigeria Football Association (NFA).
He is the father of Dr Kweku Tandoh, the Executive Secretary of the Local Organising Committee (LOC) of the ongoing 22nd National Sports Festival in Ogun State.
The other Nigerian who had led WAFU are Jonathan Boytie Ogufere from 1988 to 1994; Abdulmumini Aminu (1999 to 2002) and Amos Adamu (2008 to 2010), under whose tenure, the hitherto 16-nation body was divided into two – WAFU A and WAFU B.
