While reviewing the 2024–25 NPFL season, he revealed this.

Elegbeleye also reaffirmed his support for referees' ongoing development.

In his analysis, Elegbeleye claimed, "I've travelled around the world and witnessed some shocking officiating decisions—something you hardly see in the NPFL."

So, it is with full confidence that I declare our referees to be among the finest in the world.

"One Nigerian referee was participating at the recently finished U-20 Championship in Egypt, while another is on the shortlist for the forthcoming WAFCON. Things are looking up.

We're improving, but there's definitely space for growth. Furthermore, we rely on the media to assist us in exposing any anomalies and holding the league responsible.
