LAGOS, Aug. 15 (Xinhua) -- Aminu Maigari, the impeached Chairman of the Nigeria Football Association (NFA), would return to the office on Monday, Minister of Sports, Tammy Danagogo, said on Friday.

The return was based on the agreement of all parties involved in the crisis to ensure that the problems were solved, Danagogo told reporters in Abuja, the nation's capital city.

The Board of the NFA had on July 24 impeached Maigari on grounds of financial misappropriation, misapplication and maladministration.

The board had since then appointed the first Vice Chairman, Mike Umeh, to act as the chairman.

But FIFA, the world football governing body, had requested for an explanation on the processes that led to Maigari's impeachment which the board had replied.

However, FIFA in another letter had advised that Maigari be allowed to preside over the forthcoming NFA congress on Aug. 26.

The minister said the crisis in the football house was over.

He said the board members had resolved to work with Maigari to ensure that the electoral process was smooth for credible leaders to emerge.
