Samson Adamu Set to Become CAF Acting Secretary General After Mosengo-Omba Exit

Nigeria’s Samson Adamu is on the brink of being named Acting Secretary General of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), following a major leadership change within the organization.

The development comes after Véron Mosengo-Omba stepped down from his position as CAF Secretary General with immediate effect, paving the way for a new administrative direction.

According to multiple reliable sources, Adamu is expected to assume the role on an interim basis as CAF begins a fresh chapter in its leadership structure.

Adamu has built a strong reputation at CAF, particularly for his involvement in the planning and delivery of major continental competitions. He is also widely credited for his contribution to the growth of the Copa Lagos beach soccer tournament, which has evolved into one of Africa’s standout sporting events.
