Chime said that the appointments were made after thorough and exhaustive interviews conducted for those that applied for the various positions advertised by the board.
In a related development, Rangers stormed Benin City on Tuesday morning to commence a two-week pre-season close camping in readiness for the 2016 Nigeria Professional Football League kick-off in February.
The team comprising 45 old and new players, five technical officials, four support staff and two management staff, is expected to engage some Nationwide, National League and NPFL clubs in friendly matches while in the Edo State capital.
The team’s Technical Adviser, coach Imama Amapakabo said the choice of Benin is to avoid distraction and to allow the players to concentrate fully.
“We are in Benin for serious business and we are grateful to the state government for the choice of this nice place. We will make the two weeks camping count and there won’t be time for tardiness of any kind at all,” Amapakabo said.
