Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia has appointed an interim management team for the state-owned club Lobi Stars FC, with Terver Ikya as chairman.
The appointment of the interim management team is coming barely a week after the governor sacked the management and board members of the club.
Lobi Stars FC were relegated from Nigeria Premier Football League last season after 27 years in the topflight.
In a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Kula Tersoo on Wednesday, the governor said that the interim management team will take over the affairs of the club pending a proper restructuring of the club.
The team also includes Uja Emmanuel – Media Director, Harry Yachi – Technical Director, Terzungwe Chugh – Admin/Board Secretary (Ministry of Sports) and Barr Owocho Adejoh Ogiri as a member.
The governor warned against distractions and urged all members to work together to achieve success and ensure the club returns to topflight football next season.
