NPFL: Musa Slams Officiating In Kano Pillars’ Loss To Nasarawa United

Kano Pillars captain, Ahmed Musa has expressed disappointment with officiating in the club’s 1-0 loss to Nasarawa United on Sunday.

Anas Yusuf’s controversial goal handed the Solid Miners victory in the encounter played at the Lafia City Stadium.

Musa stated that for the league to grow, it is important to overhaul the officiating standards.

“I’ve been praising the officiating and the progress in the league up until now, but the performance of the officials in this matchday 9 game makes me wonder if coming back to play in the NPFL was the right choice,” Musa told the club’s media.

“For the league to improve, we need to address the quality of officiating. Officials must not be allowed to diminish the players’ morale and effort.”

He further added that if officiating remains poor, he would struggle to recommend the league to his fellow Super Eagles teammates.

“If I keep witnessing such officiating, I cannot encourage anyone to return to the NPFL. It would be a waste of our efforts if this continues,” Musa stated.
