After undergoing a review of the first round of the Nigeria Professional league and intensive mid season training programs held last week, stakeholders in the domestic league should expect nothing other than heart warming officiating from members of the Nigeria Referees Association, NRA, as the second round commences this weekend.
Recall that Premier League Referees were in Abuja for a week where Technical and Physical Fitness Instructors drilled them on several aspects related to game management, better understanding of the laws of the game and efficient officiating.
Propelled by talks from the NFF President, Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau who met with referees and counseling from members of the NFF Referees Committee under Rtd Fifa Faith Irabor, the referees would be fair and firm at match venues for the remaining matches.
An Army General and FIFA Referee, Brig General Olawole joined by Cletus Adewebi and Moses Alayemola will handle the top of the bill cracker in Aba; Enyimba vs Insurance.
Another international referee on parade this match day is Enugu based woman arbiter, Ndidiamaka Patience. The no nonsense lady is for Kwara Utd against Elkanemi game.
As Remo Stars battle Nassarwa in Ikenne, Inuwa Fasai will lead other match officials for the game.
