Adopting a flawless pattern of officiating is what would be in the minds of members of the Nigeria Referees Association, NRA, involved in the handling of the domestic leagues if what the president of the association, Otunba Tade Azeez told the referees is anything to go by.
Otunba Tade in his charge asked referees for the NPFL, NNL and Women League to ensure they maintain a clean record in the course of discharging their duties.
In today’s crucial Remo Stars vs Bendel Insurance game, gaining the attention of league organizers, the Interim Management Committee, (IMC) and league followers, a reliable arbiter from the FCT, Abdulahi Madaki who had perfectly handled three games this season will be cynosure of all eyes at the Ikenne Stadium, home of the host team. He has two perfect flag bearers on the lines, which includes his fellow FCT member and Secretary of the Council, Peter Bwamba. A retired woman FIFA referee of Anambra Council Grace Agudosi is the Assessor.
In one of the interesting pairings of today, a senior civil servant of one of the Federal agencies, Lamido Ahmed of Yobe will be with the whistle to prove his mettle when Kwara Utd and Enyimba clash. Two able lieutenants; Rivers State Council Eluozor Chituru and Akokoba Victor of Edo will be assisting on the lines while FCT based Assessor, Alhaji Ladan Zubairu takes position on the stands to observe officiating proceedings.
As Akwa United go visiting Jos for Plateau United, one of the fast rising young referees creating waves in the officiating scene, Sikiru Kososko of Lagos Council be at the centre of the game same as Taykum Daniel Of Nassarwa scheduled to handle the Rivers vs Dakkada game where a seasoned FiFA/CAF trained physical fitness instructor, Rtd Fifa Stella Eloji is the Assessor.
