A communique issued at the end of the reconciliatory meeting disclosed that the Office of President General Worldwide would become vacant July next year, while the suspension clamped on Okumagba is to lifted. Okumagba was however ordered to tender a letter of apology to Dr Ladipo.
The communique was signed by the trio of Ladipo, Okumagba and chairman of the NFF reconciliatory committee, Bola Oyeyode.
