Adamu was suspended by FIFA from all football activities for
three years in 2010 after being fingered in a bribery scandal.
Although the ban expired in 2013, Adamu kept a low profile,
until he resurfaced on Monday.
The former Director-General of the National Sports
Commission has been named as a member of CAF's Nations Cup Organizing
Committee, a key committee overseeing the organization of Africa's most important
football competition.
Adamu was once one of the most powerful men in Nigerian,
African and even world football before a Sunday Times investigation implicated
him in a corruption case.
He was once tipped to take over as CAF President at the end
of Issah Hayatou's tenure before the ban put paid to that ambition.
Other Nigerians involved in new CAF appointments are Gbenga
Elegbeleye and Dominic Oneya, who are in committees, while Emeka Inyama and
Chris Green have been dropped.
Nigeria Football Federation President Amaju Pinnick, former
President Aminu Maigari and Aisha Falode are among Nigerians who retained their
CAF positions.
