The Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) is taking a strong stance in maintaining fairness and integrity in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL). Referees Ayeni Ridwan Olatunji and Abubakar Jimoh were suspended due to their failure to officiate correctly in a match between Kwara United FC and Bayelsa United. They ignored a clear penalty situation that violated the Laws of the Game, which led to this decision.
This suspension will likely send a strong message about the importance of fair and accurate officiating. It’s also interesting to note that the assistant referee involved failed to assist in the situation, which contributed to the negative outcome of the match.
Do you think this action will help improve the standard of officiating in the NPFL?
