 1980 AFCON Champion Charles Bassey Dies at 71 Charles Bassey, a member of Nigeria’s historic 1980 Africa Cup of Nations-winning squad, has died at the age of 71 after a prolonged illness. He passed away on Saturday in his hometown, Eket, Akwa Ibom State. The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) confirmed his death in a statement released on Monday by its General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, describing the loss as part of a “day of double tragedy” following the earlier death of team captain Christian Chukwu. Bassey was part of the Green Eagles team that secured Nigeria’s first AFCON title with a 3-0 victory over Algeria at the National Stadium in Lagos on March 22, 1980. After retiring as a player, he transitioned into coaching and managed several clubs, including Calabar Rovers, Mobil Pegasus, BCC Lions, Flash Flamingoes, Akwa United, and Wikki Tourists. His passing brings the number of deceased members of the 1980 squad to nine.

Anambra State Government Conducts Open Bidding For IGR Concessions. 


Governor Chukwuma Soludo has reiterated his commitment to follow due process in all government engagements for the ultimate benefit of Ndi Anambra.

Governor Soludo stated this at Professor Dora Akunyili Women Development Centre, Awka during the open bidding for all government internally generated revenue (IGR) concessions. 

The process was conducted to sufficiently achieve the goal of keeping tab on government revenue sources. 

The award of the concessions will follow after the successful bidding process. 

The bid process follows the announcement by the Governor on immediate cancellation of all internally generated revenue (IGR) concessions in the state.

Speaking, Governor Soludo stressed that the first pillar of his administration is security, law and order, reiterating his insistence on the enthronement of transperancy in all government dealings.

While stating that public office is a public trust, the Governor pointed out that the revenue streams will be openly bidded in an auction style by qualified and interested people, saying that he wants to build a system where people do not need to know highly placed people in government to get concessions.

Open bidding for loading and unloading for heavy duty trucks, sand beach, environmental remediation, borrogh pit, among other concessions were conducted.

The event was attended by the Deputy Governor, Dr. Onyekachukwu Ibezim, Chief of Staff to the Governor, Mr. Ernest Ezeajughi, Anambra State Executive Council members, National President of Anambra State Association of Town Unions, Barrister Titus Akpudo, business persons and groups.
