The President of the Nigeria Referees Association, NRA, Otunba Tade Azeez, has assured all that the members involved in  the Nigeria Premier league shall continue to maintain the tempo of fair and firm officiating.

In his renewed charge to referees to avoid antics of clubs and their officials at always wanting to gain favour from match officials through unorthodox means,  Tade said  the NRA shall not relent in asking for a conducive atmosphere to operate.

The NRA president reaffirmed the earlier positions of the Association not to honour matches at grounds where referees are attacked this season.

He reminded the referees not to abandon the spirit of fair play and handle their games in line with best practices accepted by FIFA as enshrined in the Laws of The Game.
