Mikel Obi did not pay $4,000 for Dream Team’s hotel bills-Solomong Dalung
“Siasia was in my room early this morning and said the hotel security had refused to allow the team leave the hotel due to unpaid hotel bills. I also lodged in the same hotel with the Permanent Secretary and other members of the National Assembly who came to watch the match against Columbia. I told him to add the bill to the permanent Secretary’s bill so that he can clear it alongside other bills. The amount incurred by the excess officials and players is $4,600. When we checked out of the hotel, the money was added and the Permanent Secretary paid all outstanding bills. I am surprised to hear and read that Mikel Obi saved an embarrassing situation by paying the bills”
The Minister also restated that 8 unofficially accredited persons have been following the team since they left Atlanta including 4 players and 4 officials. The organizers of the games, the International Olympic Committee are only responsible for 25 accredited players and officials including feeding, flights and accommodation.
“In Manaus, we were forced to pay camp allowances to the extra 4 players making 29. As we speak now, the Nigeria Football Federation is the only federation that does not have a single board member on ground. Not even the Secretary-General is here. So, it is really unfortunate that this is happening. We have paid all players and other athletes their first 11 days in camp and the payment of the rest of the days will commence today( Friday). We want to plead with the players to shelve all actions capable of distracting them from their upcoming game on Saturday against Denmark and channel all grievances through the appropriate route. We remain committed to the welfare of all our athletes in camp as we look forward to giving them our unhindered support” Dalung reassured.
The University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) has suspended a lecturer, Mr. Chigozie Odum, following allegations that he impregnated four students within four years of his appointment.
The suspension, which was officially communicated through a letter signed by the institution’s Deputy Registrar, Mrs. Achiuwa F.C., on behalf of the Registrar, comes after investigations into the matter.
While the alleged incidents reportedly occurred around 2019/2020, the university reached the decision to suspend the lecturer only two weeks ago.
The institution has not disclosed further details regarding additional disciplinary actions or ongoing investigations into the matter.
