Barely a week after intensive mid season lectures and physical fitness experiments, referees who took part in the exercise and listed for today’s games across the centers have been told to put into use what they were taught.
President of the Nigeria Referees Association, Otunba Tade Azeez in his charge to the Appointed Match Officials said that it would amount to waste of time, resources and energy if there is nothing from them on the field of play to justify the activities of the just concluded training sessions.
According to Otunba Tade Azeez, the essence of the training is improvement on officiating which must be justified on the field of play.
In Benin where all eyes will focus on the South South derby, a fifa referee back to the country after an outing abroad last week, Abdusalam Kassim of Zamfara Council, will bring his international experience to bear in the clash involving home side and group leaders on the table; Bendel Insurance and visitors, Akwa United.
Another local derby in Umuahia; Abia Warriors vs Rangers has a rising Amazon of the whistle, Yemisi Akintoye of Lagos in charge.
Fifa referee from Kano, Bashir Salisu will use his whistle in all corners of the field to control proceedings when Gombe plays host to Kwara United at the Pantani Stadium.
