 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.

CHIMAMANDA ADICHIE'S COMMUNICATION TEAM DEBUNKS CLAIM THAT SHE HAS BEEN APPOINTED VISITING PROFESSOR AT UNN. (PHOTO).


 Chimamanda Adichie's Communication Team debunks claim that she has been appointed Visiting Professor at UNN


The earlier reports that Anambra-Born Writer, Chimamanda  Adichie(Odeluwa)  has been appointed Visiting Professor at UNN and that the  appointment was approved by the Vice Chancellor of UNN, Prof Simon Ortuanya, has been declared false by Adichie's Communication Team.


According to the reports, the appointments were aimed at repositioning the institution on the global academic stage, with the Visiting Professors expected to engage in teaching, collaborative research, mentorship, and strategic academic interactions.


One of the reports quoted the university as saying Adichie’s appointment was in recognition of her contributions to literature, creative writing, and global intellectual discourse.


However, in a statement signed by Omawumi Ogbe, Communications Team for Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the author dismissed the claims as false.


“It has come to our attention that several news outlets are reporting that Ms. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has been appointed as a ‘Visiting Professor’ at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN),” the statement read.


The team stated firmly that no such appointment existed.


“We wish to state categorically that this information is entirely false,” the statement said.


It added that Adichie neither received an appointment letter nor held any discussions with the university on a professorial role.


“Ms. Adichie has not received any such appointment, nor has she been in communication with the University regarding a professorship,” the statement added.


While rejecting the appointment claim, the statement acknowledged Adichie’s long standing personal connection to UNN, where she spent her early years.


The team urged members of the public to ignore the reports and called on media organisations to withdraw them.
