His position has been taken by Augustine Senghor (President of Senegal FA) who will now take over the responsibility of setting a platform for fresh SLFA elections as well as address a long-running World Cup match-fixing inquiry.

Bility,who is the current President of Liberia Football Association, has confirmed that he has tendered his resignation letter to the Confederation of African Football President Ahmad Ahmad, citing his busy schedule as the reason of leaving the position.

“Due to my very busy schedule which is making it very difficult to focus on the situation in Sierra Leone,I wish to request your good offices to kindly accept my resignation as the Chairman of the Fifa task force in Sierra Leone with immediate effect,”reads the letter on its part.

The new chair will be assisted by representatives from the SLFA (Drucil Taylor), the country’s Sports Ministry officials and two Fifa employees – Veron Mosengo-Omba and Solomon Mudege who previously worked with Bility.
