The Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN), Imo State Chapter, has congratulated Sir Kelechi Mejuobi on his emergence as the Acting President of the Nigeria Football Referees Association (NFRA).
In a press release signed by its secretary, Tunde Liadi, the association described Mejuobi’s rise as well-deserved, stressing that it reflects his wealth of experience, professionalism and long-standing commitment to the development of football refereeing and administration in the country.
Mejuobi’s appointment follows his service as Vice President of the NFRA, a role in which he was widely recognized for his contribution to the growth and stability of the arbitration body.
SWAN Imo, under the leadership of its President, Cosmos Chukwuemeka, expressed confidence in Mejuobi’s ability to build on the ongoing reforms within the association.
The body particularly highlighted the “Rediscover NFRA Agenda”, which it believes will be further strengthened under its leadership to promote unity, transparency and excellence.
The association also paid tribute to the immediate past president of the NFRA, the late Hon. Sani Zubairu, whose passing has been described as a significant loss to Nigerian football. SWAN noted that his contribution to refereeing in the country will continue to be remembered.
While wishing Mejuobi a successful tenure, SWAN Imo expressed optimism that his leadership would take the NFRA to greater heights.
