With the commencement of the Nigeria National League and as the NPFL matches get to Week 12, members of the Nigeria Referees Association, NRA, who are involved in the officiating have been told to be worthy ambassadors of the association.
President of the NRA, Otunba Tade Azeez said that since the NFF places premium on the second tier national league, the NNL is a veritable ground for the referees involved to demonstrate their knowledge of the laws of the game after training.
Therefore, Otunba Tade Azeez urges the referees not to compromise standard in the course of their duties adding that apart from the use of Assessors, a special monitoring team of the NRA shall follow up each of their performances in all the centers.
Similarly, Otunba Tade Azeez reminded the NPFL referees not to lose focus of fair and firm officiating in the week 12 matches.
An Olympian referee who just came back from an international game, FIFA Patience Madu of Enugu Council alongside Abba Baba Dada of Yobe and Delta’s Otta Joel will be the judges of the Kano Pillars vs Plateau United game in Kaduna while another international woman referee of the FCT Council, Hannah Eliagwu backed by Uzairu Haruna and Kenneth Onyiro of Katsina and Abia councils respectively as Assistant Referees shall handle the Gombe vs Remo Stars.
In the south east derby at Nnewi involving Rangers and Abia Warriors of Umuahia, a former FIFA Referee, Abel Baba (Igwe International) who be on ground to assess the performances of Zakari Sani of Kano led officiating crew.
