Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) president, Amaju Pinnick, has officially submitted his nomination to contest for a seat on the executive committee of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) in March 2017.

CAF sources confirmed to AfricanFootball, that Pinnick’s nomination papers have been received.

Ghana Football Association (GFA) Kwesi Nyantakyi and Anjorin Moucharafou of Benin FA are currently representing Zone 3 (Zone West B), which covers Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Togo, Chad, Cote d’Ivoire and Niger.

Nyantakyi, who is also on the FIFA council, will be open for re-election on March 16, 2017.
