As the 2016/2017 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) comes to end across the country, chairman of the Referees appointment committee of the Nigeria Football Federation Alhaji Ahmed Yusuf Fresh appraised the match officials (Nigeria referees) on duty throughout the season with a commendable pass mark according to gong.

“I am really impressed with the way the referees discharged their duties during the just concluded 2016/2017 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season. Although, there were challenges as the season got tougher but we, at the referees committee of the Nigeria Football Federation, were able to manage them,” Fresh recounted.

The chairman of Niger state Football Association also spoke on some of the successes recorded as regards Nigeria match officials last season.

“Interestingly some of our referees were chosen by Confederation of Africa Football (CAF) to officiate the Africa Cup on Nations qualifiers not only that but also for the ongoing Russia 2018 world cup qualifiers where they all represented Nigeria well with credible performances. Thus, I make bold  to score them 70 over 100” Fresh said.
