NFF President vows continuous Nigerian referees development, plans for work gadgets
FIFA senior technical instructor Felix Tangawarima has appealed to the NFF President to find the enablement for Nigerian international referee instructors to periodically engage upcoming instructors at the zones with a view to enhancing their capacity.
The FIFA team lead stated this following the conclusion of the five-day training programme for the country’s Young Talents (40 young arbiters) and which is presently concluding a similar programme for elite referees at the NFF Secretariat, Abuja, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Responding, Gusau stated that he is always most pained any time there is a report of misdemeanour by a Nigerian referee or a list of referees for major tourneys is released without a single Nigerian referee.
“Personally, I find it unacceptable. At every opportunity, I tell the referees that we will continue to assist those who deliberately step out of line, to stay away permanently. It is a vocation that requires the highest level of integrity, discipline, dedication, diligence and moral rectitude".
“We are delighted at the good recommendation you have given our next generation of referees. We will work assiduously to see that they fulfill their potential.”
The NFF President also used the occasion to announce that the Federation has already procured new gadgets for Nigerian referees to enhance their work on the field of play.
Also at the meeting were NFF Deputy General Secretary, Dr. Emmanuel Ikpeme; Director of Communications, Ademola Olajire; Chairperson of NFF Referees Sub-Committee, Mrs Faith Irabor; Members of NFF Referees Sub-Committee Abraham Zakowi and Waziri Furo Gawe and; SA to General Secretary, Mr. Mohammed Ameenu.
