Anatomy of State Football Associations - on ‘90 mins with mathematical’
State Football Associations are a very important component of the general architecture of Nigerian football.
Their status and roles in football development have become the central part of the ongoing crisis and reforms.
Who are they? What do they do? Who are their constituent members? What are their primary and secondary functions?
On ‘90 minutes with Mathematical7’, this weekend, we look at the State FAs through the eyes and experiences of a current Chairmen, a shining light of that constituency, an award-winning administrator of football development in Edo State, Dr. Fred Newton Erhunmunswe, a barrister and Chairman of Edo State Football Association.
Plus….wait for it… the man Fred succeeded as FA Chairman in Edo State, who he credits for guidance and a lot of what he was able to learn about the FA and achieve - Dr. Franklyn Ilaboya! He will be joining us too.
The public is in for a treat - everything to know about State Football Associations, the body at the heart of the proposed reforms in Nigerian football!
Start to unlock the key to the most controversial body in Nigerian football.

It is TF’s birthday!
I am in Ibadan.
Today is the anniversary of the day of the birth of TF.
How time flies.
It is hard to think back and ‘locate’ where the years have gone since we met half a Century ago in Ibadan.
Now, ‘Sarki’, as I fondly call him for reasons best kept amongst friends, is leaving me far behind and knocking ‘dangerously’ on the door of octogenarianism.
So, it is happening in his beautiful home in Ibadan this afternoon, as a few friends congregate to celebrate with him and pay the great man a little tribute.
By the way, TF is Tunde Fagbenle, the prolific writer, publisher, Public relations ‘Guru’, entrepreneur, and foremost social/political
Commentator and activist.
On behalf of all the ‘boys’, this is wishing him a great life..still ahead.
The picture captures a few of the ‘boys’. From right of picture: Dr. Babayomi Taiwo, Yomi Layinka, Ambassador Yemi Farounbi, the Celebrant, Tuñde Fagbenle, Gbenga Adebusuyi, Hon. Taiwo Akeju, Dejo Olugbodi, and Yours Truly.
