NFF president has revealed that Nigerian referees will no longer pay out of pocket for development and training programmes.
Ibrahim Gusau, President of the Nigeria Football Federation , has expressed happiness over the number of young referees during the opening of a three-pronged refereeing training in Abuja on Tuesday.The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the Women’s Referees’ Course is running concurrently with the Futsal Referees’ Course.He noted that refereeing, like any activity that involves rigorous physical engagement and endurance, was about youthfulness.
“So, I told the refereeing unit that we must change the template and concentrate on the young ones so that we can accomplish our objective of having our officials at the top end very soon. “In spite of our limited resources, we will endeavour to organise these developmental programmes every quarter in order to give our referees the best training possible.
Mr Gusau said from the onset of his administration, he had insisted on an improved welfare package for referees, in order to dissuade them from unethical conduct.
