Tottenham Hotspur coach Antonio Conte did not let the defeat at the hands of Manchester United stop him from recognizing the heroics of one of the greatest footballers of all time.

After having scored just once in 2022 across ten games, Manchester United marksman Cristiano Ronaldo was in top gear as his treble was all United needed to move back into fourth position on the log.

Conte would have certainly hoped for a Ronaldo that has hardly impressed since the turn of the year but the 37 year old off all days chose Saturday as the day to break the record for the most goals as a professional footballer.

His 59th professional hat trick meant he’s now the undisputed top scorer in the history of the round leather game with 807 goals to his name.

Conte has taken time out to praise the five time Ballon d’Or winner for his outstanding performance and said he alongside Lionel Messi are best players of this generation.

It was an amazing performance from Cristiano, but I know him very well and it’s not a surprise for me.

Conte described Ronaldo as the man for the biggest occasions citing his five goals for United in the Champions League as one of instances where the former Juventus striker comes handy.

Just the beginning of this week, speculations started making rounds that Ronaldo will consider a future away from Old Trafford come the end of the season due to the club’s questionable ambitions.

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.
