The Nigerian football community has been thrown into deep mourning over the untimely death of foremost female football board member and journalist, Henrietta Ukaigwe, who passed away Tuesday morning after a brief illness.

I  can’t begin to imagine the gravity of this loss to our  football right now. She would be sorely missed,” the message read.

” We condole with NFF administrators and particularly, the leadership of Nigerian female football, the management of Nigeria Women Football League ( NWFL), led by Aisha Falode and the family and friends of Ukaigwe on this sad news.

” On behalf of the leadership of NFSC and the members of the foremost football supporters club worldwide, I pray that God give Nigeria football community and the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria, the fortitude to bear this great loss.”
