 Somali World Cup Referee Denied Entry to United States Award-winning Somali referee, Omar Artan, has been denied entry into the United States despite holding a valid visa, according to a senior official in Somalia’s sports ministry. Artan, who is set to become the first Somali referee to officiate at the FIFA World Cup finals, was stopped at Miami International Airport and subsequently returned to Istanbul, where he had been residing. The reason for the denial was not immediately disclosed. However, Somalia is among the countries affected by a travel ban introduced by the administration of Donald Trump.

 Abia State Steps Up Infrastructure Drive: 53 Meter Curvet Installed on Idima Abam Ndiorieke Road to Tackle Erosion


In a significant step towards improving road infrastructure and environmental resilience, Abia State has completed the installation of a 53-meter length curvet along the ongoing 29km Idima Abam–Ndiorieke Road. 


The project is designed to control erosion and ensure durability along the stretch, marking another milestone in the state’s commitment to quality road construction and sustainable development.


Erosion has long been a major challenge for communities across Abia, particularly in rural areas where poor drainage and unplanned developments often worsen road degradation. The curvet installation is therefore a proactive measure one that not only safeguards the road but also protects nearby farmlands, homes, and livelihoods.


What stands out about this initiative is the state government’s balanced attention to both rural and urban infrastructure. From design to material selection and project delivery, Abia is steadily proving that quality construction can be achieved across all localities not just in city centers.


The ongoing Idima Abam–Ndiorieke road project represents more than just connectivity; it symbolizes progress, safety, and a government listening to the needs of its people. 


Once completed, it will enhance movement of goods and services, improve access to healthcare and education, and boost the local economy.
