 Dutch referee Rob Dieperink dies weeks after removal from World Cup officiating list Dutch referee Rob Dieperink has died at the age of 38, weeks after FIFA removed him from its list of officials for the World Cup.

APC, PDP DISAGREE OVER LAST MINUTE RECRUITMENTS, NEW AIRPORT PROJECT IN BENUE



There is growing unease in Benue State chapter of the All Progressive Congress (APC) over massive recruitment in the state’s civil service and other capital projects embarked upon by the outgoing Peoples Democratic party (PDP) administration of Governor Samuel Ortom.

Ihumon asked: “Why would a government, which has not been able to pay salaries and pensions, suddenly, in the twilight of its administration, suddenly begin the ill-advised promotion/appointments of selected people and recruitment of more people into the civil service?”

“As governor, Ortom is empowered by law to make appointments, approve promotions, engage in contractual obligations and ensure his administration discharges its lawful duty such as the recent employment of qualified persons into the Teaching Service Board (TSB) and State Universal Basic Education (SUBEB), and this is a duty the governor may perform without let or hindrance from any quarters.”
