THE President of the Nigeria Referees Association (NRA), Alhaji Tade Azeez, has dispelled media claims that the President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick is planning to restructure the association.
According to him, the federation president was referring to the NFF referees Committee under Alhaji Fresh Ahmed when he was discussing recent attention on referees’ performances during the final day of the 2016 Nigeria Professional Football League in Enugu.
The Vice Chairman of Lagos State Football Association (LSFA) said the federation does not have any direct power over the activities of the NRA, hence they cannot implement any reform or restructuring the association.
He distanced himself from the “controversial calls” of some referees and its attendant fallout towards the end of the season and in the knockout stages of the Federation Cup as he promised to talk when the time is right.
