The New Media Journalists (NMJ) at the weekend charged the newly elected president of CAF, Ahmad Ahmad, on bringing changes to the face of football on the continent as promised during his campaign.
In a statement signed by the Co-ordinator of the group, Akinlolu Alonge, NMJ said Ahmad should not deviate from his promises and make sure things changed for better.
Ahmad ousted long-time president of CAF, Isha Hayatou, in an election recently and promised a lot of changes and also improvement to African Africa.
"The change must not end with the election, it must be visible for all to see," Alonge said.
"We are happy for Ahmad because we see in him as someone who is ready to make things happen, but he should not lose focus.
"Some people will try to change his targets, but he should not allow them because the future of the younger generations is now in his hand and other members of his executives."
The group of young journalists also called on the president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick, who was also elected as an executive board member from WAFU zone B, to make sure the change rub off on the country's football.
NMJ also called on the new executives to take women football development on the continent as uppermost in their change campaign.
Alonge added: "Despite performing well on the continent, women teams have been finding it difficult to perform on equal terms with their counterparts from Europe and Asia.
"CAF should see to the organisation and promotion of women football in Africa and maybe start a CAF club competition like the Champions League.
"I am sure this will help the clubs and bring about better players for most of the countries leading to better performance at the world stage."
Meanwhile, NMJ used the opportunity to congratulate the newly elected executives as they start their reign as the new face of CAF.
