League Management Company (LMC) chairman, Shehu Dikko, who also doubles as the 2nd vice president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has bagged an appointment with world’s soccer ruling body FIFA.

His appointment was confirmed by sources close to busybuddiesng.com with an official confirmation expected very soon.

Shehu Dikko, who is the proprietor of Kaduna United, joined the LMC as a member in 2012 and has risen through the ranks to become the body’s chairman.

The new appointment is the reward for his numerous achievements with the LMC. He would become only the second NFF executive committee member to be given a FIFA appointment after president Amaju Pinnick was named as a member of the FIFA organising committee for competitions earlier this year.
