The Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL, has identified poor officiating as the major challenge faced in the top-flight.
The NPFL Chairman, Gbenga Elegbeleye stated this in a chat with the Sportsday.
He condemned questionable officiating by some referees that doesn't portray the league in good light.
Elegbeleye vowed to leave a much desired league behind which everyone will be proud of and that can compete with top leagues in the world.
"It's heartbreaking and mind-blowing when you see some officiating, and you wonder how come?, Elegbeleye told Sportsday.
"Some are so glaring for all to see such that even a non referee couldn't have made such a questionable call.
"This has become a major challenge which we are working assiduously round the clock to see how we can address the problem permanently or at least reduce it to the barest minimum.
"Don't get me wrong, there have been some excellent refereeing, but these bad eggs are what we are trying to expunge from the league.
We are certainly not there yet but everyone can attest that the league has made some improvements and it's better than we met it.
