He said facilities in the stadium were being given a total overhaul to meet with international sporting standards and expressed excitement at the opportunity of hosting the respective African countries’ athletics ambassadors in Delta State continent.
In the words of the governor, “It is good that we are here today to see the level of work done; you can see that the contractor is working to deliver the job to international standards. What you are witnessing is the reconstruction of the stadium; it was redesigned to accommodate nine lanes, and I am satisfied with the level of work done so far.
“We are ready to host Africa because the championship will make people from different parts of Africa to gather in our state. It will be a thing of joy for us to host Africa. The benefits of hosting the championship cannot be quantified, don’t forget sports is a unifying factor all over the world and that unity, peace and love for one another will be celebrated during the championship.”
The Governor inspected the various sections of the stadium, including the grassing of the field, construction of the nine-lane tartan tracks, the VIP lounges, training areas, swimming pool and indoor sports hall.
