Confederation of African Football(CAF), on Thursday, confirmed the appointment of Amaju Melvin Pinnick as the first Vice President of the football governing body.

Pinnick was recently ordered by the Supreme Court to comply with a lower court’s order that compelled him to vacate the office of President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
