Chairman of, Referee Committee, Samuel Timothy, commended the officiating, which he said was way above average.

Also speaking on the championship, president of, Nigeria Volleyball Federation, Musa Nimrod, commended the tournament's sponsor, adding that most of the players are raw talents with a number of them still writing secondary school exams.

“The competition consists of volleyball players who don't play in the league. This is the real grassroots we are talking about. I am not surprised with the performance of Offa because they have developmental programmes and they have always been together. The future is bright for the game because of them,” he said.
