Nigeria’s Samson Adamu has been appointed Acting Secretary General of the Confederation of African Football.
The appointment was confirmed on Sunday, making him the first Nigerian to hold the position since CAF was established over 70 years ago.
Adamu takes over from Véron Mosengo-Omba, who resigned from the role on the same day.
Before his new appointment, Adamu served as CAF’s Director of Tournaments and Events, where he played a key role in organising major competitions across the continent.
His appointment was proposed by the CAF Executive Committee and approved by the Congress during its meeting at the Giza Palace Hotel.
