In a time when officiating has become a major topic in Nigerian football, there are still officials who stand out. Like they say, there is no hiding place for a golden fish.
As the Nationwide League One games are ongoing in different centres, officiating has been a fine topic to discuss. But in all, one referee has stood out: Samuel Uzoigwe.
At the Umuahia centre of the Nationwide League One, the Abia-born referee has shown brilliance and a thorough understanding of the game. There is a need to have brave and intelligent referees like him to receive proper guidance and support for growth.
His command of the game is exemplary and he uses his communication gadgets effectively.
With no controversies so far, his decision making being spot on, his agility, mobility and game management deserve applause. Such young prospects should be given the attention needed to grow.
