Former FIFA Executive Committee member, 
Dr. Amos Adamu, was part of the proceedings of the Confederation of 
African Football General Assembly on Tuesday in Cairo, to elect the 
continent’s two representatives on the FIFA Executive Committee and the 
six members on the CAF Executive Committee.
Adamu was invited as a special guest by 
CAF to its 37th Ordinary General Assembly at the Aida Ballroom of the 
Marriott Hotel, Cairo.
The invitation letter of the former 
Director-General of the National Sports Commission was signed by CAF 
General Secretary, Hicham El Amrani, who said it was in line with the 
belief that Adamu’s wealth of experience as a former FIFA and CAF 
Executive Committee member could not be ignored.
President of the Nigeria Football 
Federation, Amaju Pinnick and NFF Secretary General, Dr. Sanusi 
Mohammed, were the other Nigerians in attendance.
Adamu, a former West African Football 
Union president, will be part of Wednesday’s (today) meeting of the 
committee, which would be followed by the naming of the host country for
 the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations finals, and the draws for the 
competition’s qualifiers.
Adamu reportedly entered into private 
discussions with CAF president, Issa Hayatou and FIFA boss, Sepp 
Blatter, after the meeting
