In view of the need to record excellent performances at match venues in the ongoing NPFL, Premier League referees have been asked to stick on fair and firm officiating to achieve this goal.
President of the Nigerian Referees Association, NRA, Otunba Tade Azeez gave this charge while appraising reports so far.
He asked the referees to shun acts not in conformity with the Laws of the Game and competition rules before, during and after the hostilities.
The latest FIFA referee in town and outstanding whistle handler, Abdusalam Abubakar of Zamfara council will have the opportunity to be on parade for the first with the prestigious international white badge in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, the adopted home of Sunshine Stars of Akure against Enyimba as Musa Isa and a woman FIFA referee, Mfom Akpan will be on the lines, while in Jos, another FIFA referee, Grema Mohammed of Borno returns to action in the Plateau vs Rivers Utd clash.
In Ilorin, one of the very best products Imo State Referees Council is exporting to the national scene from the NNL, Justin Egwom, a graduate of Imo State University, Owerri, will have his baptism of fire in the elite referees class as he takes charge of the North Central derby; Kwara United vs Lobi. He will be assisted by Awosakin Iluyonade and Kazeem Dogari of Ondo and Yobe respectively.
Two women FIFA referees; Yemisi Akintoye and Fumi Alaba will also be in charge of separate games at Owerri and Uyo respectively.
