In a press statement signed by the chapter’s secretary, Tunde Liadi, the association described the appointment as well deserved and a recognition of Mejuobi’s experience, professionalism and dedication to football refereeing in the country, adding that his emergence followed his diligent service as Deputy President of NFRA.

Led by Comrade Cosmos Chukwuemeka, Imo SWAN expressed confidence that Mejuobi will sustain and strengthen the “Rediscover NFRA Agenda” of the administration while promoting unity, transparency and excellence within the refereeing body.
