Nigeria avoid international suspension

ABUJA - African champions Nigeria on Tuesday avoided a ban from international football after FIFA said the country's football association had complied with a directive about its leadership.
The world governing body said it welcomed the fact that ousted president Aminu Maigari and his executive committee had been able to return to work and as a result lifted the threat of sanctions.
