“During the first phase in Abuja, there was no challenge. I approach games just as it comes but the game between Kano Pillars and Safety Shooters was very tough I must confess”, he added.

He revealed that the National camping before the African Games proper enlightened him to the slight changes in the rules.

Emiabata-Lawal said, “Nigerians should expect better officiating because when the players were in camp before the African Games in Morocco, I had the opportunity to visit the camp and got enlightened on the slight changes in the rules”.

The Lagos based referee told www.aclsports.com that in a bid to boarding his horizon, he opt to watching clips from the recently concluded World junior Championship.

He said, “I have been working on my officiating, watching handball videos match and also watched the just concluded World Junior handball championship, so as to improve on my carrier. My main aim is to become a CAHB and IHF badge referee.

“My prayer is that Almighty Allah give the President of Handball Federation of Nigeria, Sam Ocheho the power and resources in order for him to bring officiating course down to Nigeria”, he added.
