The Chairman of the Nigeria National League, NNL, Mr George Aluo, has commended centre referee Lawal Jibrin Abdulwahab for his performance in the match between Sporting Supreme and Gombe United.
Abdulwahab was assisted by Musa Bajaj and Aminu Ibrahim.
Aluo said that the match officials displayed unbiased officiating, showing composure and good management throughout the game.
The encounter, which ended goalless, took place at the Bwari Stadium in Abuja on Friday.
“I want to give kudos to them for the professionalism they exhibited in handling the match,” Aluo told NNL media.
“They were not intimidated by any of the teams neither did they allow emotion to affect their decisions which is what we need from referees.
“All the decisions they took were perfect and even when the Coach of Sporting Supreme complained unnecessarily, the center referee gave him a straight red card which was applauded by all. And the good thing was that at the end of the game both teams were satisfied with the officiating.”
