A former Chief Judge of Lagos State, Justice Ayotunde Phillips has been elected as a Member of the highly respected FIFA Ethics Committee.
In what amounted to another remarkable accomplishment for Nigerian Football, Justice Phillips’ election was ratified by the FIFA congress.
This development highlights the rising profile of Nigeria in International Football as shown by the recent appointments of NFF President Amaju Pinnick into important CAF and FIFA roles.
The new FIFA Ethics Committee is headed by Vassilios Skouris of Greece.
