The League
Management Company (LMC) has pledged to work with the
leadership of the Nigeria Referees Association (NRA) and the Nigeria Football
Federation (NFF) Referees’ Committee towards improving the level of officiating
by exploring possibilities of additional guidelines for qualification to manage
NPFL matches.
The LMC chairman Shehu Dikko made the pledge on Monday at the end of a midseason review session in Abuja between the
leadership of LMC, Chairmen and General Managers of clubs in the Nigeria
Professional Football League.
Dikko rated
the referees’ performances in the first stanza better, insisting that there
would be improvement in the second stanza.
The league is
expected to resume this weekend across the country for the second round
campaign.
“By our
assessment, the Referees performed well so far. We know it can always get
better and we would strengthen our work with the NFF Referees’ Committee and
the NRA to improve on what was obtained but we also want the clubs to realize
that decisions cannot always go their way. The Referees are human and liable to
make mistakes but whenever we have reviewed a match and discovered
incompetence, such Referees were punished no matter how long it took us to
review the game”, Dikko assured the clubs.
