One of the seasoned Broadcaster with Love FM 104.5 station based in the Federal Capital Territory has asked the former Super Eagles player, Chinedu Obasi to be man enough to mention the names of the members of 2014 World Cup crew led by Late Stephen Keshi who asked him for money before he can play for his fatherland or better shut-up.

To this end, Mr Udeme George has given Obasi 24-hours to show evidence or name the culprits saying, players should stop rubbing the name of our coaches in a mud.

According to him, I think we need to address this issue now, because media has been awash with different allegations leveled against backroom staff of 2014 world cup in Brazil that was led by the late Stephen Keshi.

“A couple of days back we saw video trending with Obasi coming out to say he was asked to pay money to make the Super Eagles team that went to the FIFA World Cup in brazil.

“Now we have many of this stories, you hear a player telling you, that they have been asked to pay certain amount of money if they are to make the list, but they dont say it immidiately they dont have evidences, they are coming out after years.

“How can you wait since 2014 to speak up in 2020? The concern now is,Obasi should be man enough to come out and tell the whole world who ask him for money in 2014? we dont want to make do with cock and bull stories flying around, no,we must fish out the culprits, we must know that these guy are the reason why our football is not moving forward, because they put money ahead of talent, if you dont have money, they push you out even with your talent,they bring in players who have money and got no talent and we go to the world stage and get embarrassed by superior teams with talent.

“So, Obasi please I am asking you in 24 hours, give us names of those who were involved in this scandal,we dont just want to make do with allegations, its stories, anybody can come out and tell stories but until you give us names then we will start taking you serious.

“And if you can not be man enough to mention the names of those who were involved in this scandal, shut-up, because you cant keep rubbing the names of our coaches in the mud, come out and give us names.” Udeme-Geoge asked

Federal Government Staff Housing Loans Board will henceforth seize mortgaged properties of retiring federal public servants who failed to fully repay the housing loans advanced to them by the board.

In a statement issued by the Staff Housing Loans Board Head, Information & PRU Obiechina Ngozi on Wednesday in Abuja reveals that this is in accordance with the Public Service Rules 021002 (p) as issued by the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation.

The OHCSF sent out the memo as a reminder for the federal public servants who are about to retire to adhere strictly to the provisions of the Public Service Rules.

The memo reads; “I am directed to bring to your attention the provision of Public Service Rule (PSR) 021002 (p), which mandates all public servants to obtain a Certificate of Non-indebtedness to the Federal Government Staff Housing Loans Board (FGSHLB) and any MDA Staff Multipurpose Cooperative Society, as issued by the OHCSF, as a prerequisite for retirement.”

“Further to the above, it should be noted that in the event of exiting the service prior to full repayment of the housing loan advanced by the FGSHLB, the Board shall exercise its legal right to seize the mortgaged property.”

Speaking on the above, Salamatu Ladi Ahmed, Executive Secretary, FGSHLB, reiterated that the warning is also for retired officers who defaulted.
She stated that the management of the Board, on its part, is compiling the list of all retired federal public servants who are still owing the housing loans they obtained while in service, to be sent to relevant regulatory agencies to recover the debts from them.

FGSHLB is committed to ensuring that all public servants comply with this rule and obtain the necessary Certificate of Non-indebtedness before retirement, and urge all those affected to take immediate action and settle any outstanding debts or liabilities with the Board.
