Facts have started emanating from different quarters why match officials appointment went offline for about four games and made a returned for match day 27 of the NPFL.
With facts gathered it's cleared that the NFF Referees Committee went silent on appointment posting online for all to see as it was regularly done from match day 1 as to create a window for some referees that failed the mid season fitness test in Abuja earlier this year.
Such cases were traced to some referees on match day 26 were the centre referee for Plateau utd vs Akwa utd and the reserved referee for Ikorodu utd vs FC Ifeanyi Ubah are among the culprits gathered from the investigation.
This was the reason the re-run test scheduled for Wednesday 21/07/2016 had to be cancelled so that these referees will not be seen to be participating in the re-run as they earlier failed in the mid-season fitness test that was held in Abuja for premiership referees.
It's obvious that with such practice the Nigeria referee can not move to Eldorado as such practice will only slow down the growth and development of good referees, who are suppose to represent the country in international games.
We need to cut down the number of grade 1, premiership referees in Nigeria for us to be able to get the development and training of referees.
