Congrats: Villar named acting chairman of World Cup Organising Committee

By

President of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) Angel Maria Villar has been named acting chairman of the World Cup Organising Committee.

The Spaniard takes over as Uefa's representative in the body, with current interim Fifa president Issa Hayatou also joining as the world organisation's man while Hany Abo Rida represents the CAF.
With 851 qualifying matches scheduled for Russia 2018, the committee has formed a specific bureau and emergency bureau to organise the various preliminary competitions.
Sheik Salman Bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa has been entrusted with chairing the two bureaus.
Villar, 65, has been in charge of Spanish football since 1988.
The Bilbao native also took over as acting Uefa president as a result of Michel Platini's suspension, as the Frenchman faces a probe for alleged irregular payments.
The Fifa Executive Committee, which set the February 26 as the date for new elections on Tuesday, will hold its next meeting in Zurich on December 2nd and 3rd.

A school allegedly belonging to Unoma Akpabio, the wife of the immediate past governor of Akwa Ibom State, Godswill Akpabio, has been seized by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. It was learnt that the seizure was part of investigations into the former governor who has been accused of alleged N108bn fraud during his tenure from 2007 to 2015. One of our correspondents who visited the school, St. John Paul II School, in Shelter Afrique, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, observed that the school had been marked “under investigation by EFCC.” It was learnt that the EFCC resorted to marking the school instead of shutting it so that innocent parents and students who had paid school fees would not be adversely affected.
