Abdullahi told the News Agency of Nigeriaon Sunday in Abuja that he had relocated his office to the stadium to ‘breathe life back’ to the facility. “Of course, we have concluded arrangements with Julius Berger to bring alive the pitch of the main bowl and training grounds in January, after the holidays,” Abdullahi said.
“If we are able to get the pitch fixed, the Super Eagles and other national teams will have a good ground to train. Nobody can say we do not have a field where they can play anymore.” According to the minister, the decision to embark on the renovation was based on President Goodluck Jonathan’s visit to the stadium in September.
“I think that by relocating my office to the stadium, it will breathe life back into the stadium to a reasonable extent. The facilities on ground are being managed and cleaned up now. “If we are able to sensitise the Nigeria Football Federation on the facilities available here, they can also use it for the various national teams and not just for the Eagles.”
