” Edo is home of football and deserves to have more FIFA graded Referees. We congratulate our sister and celebrate with her on her new status which is a plus to us. We are proud of her and want to see her handling CAF and FIFA games soon as earlier advised by the Nigeria Football Federation president Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau.
