A former spokesperson of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF), Austin Mgbolu, was on Wednesday confirmed dead.

He is reported to have passed on in the hospital he was rushed to. Mgbolu had recently gone under the knife and looked to be returning to good health before his demise.

Mgbolu served as public relations officer of then NFA between 1993 and 2001, and was a conscientious, energetic and dedicated professional.

He served under five past Presidents of the Nigeria Football Federation: Emeka Omeruah (1993 – 1997), Abdulmumini Aminu (1997 – 1999), Kojo Williams (1999), Dominic Oneya (1999 – 2002) and Ibrahim Galadima (2002 – 2006).

“This is very sad. I pray that God Almighty will protect the family and loved ones he has left behind and give them the fortitude to bear this big loss.

“He was a thorough professional who did his job to the best of his ability and even as an analyst on television, he was forthright and provided wise counsel for the advancement of the Nigeria game. We pray that God will grant him eternal rest,” NFF General Secretary, Dr Mohammed Sanusi, said.
