Sports Minister inspects MKO Abiola stadium training pitch 1

Minister of sports, Sunday Dare on Friday inspected the Moshood Abiola Stadium Training Pitch 1 to examine the level of the development, with barely few weeks to be handed over to the Ministry.

Afrikings Homes Ltd adopted the training pitch to fix the natural grass that has worn out, due to much pressure without consistent maintenance.

With the adoption, Afrikings Homes has joined the growing list of organizations that have keyed into the ministry’s Adopt-An-Infrastructure Project, which began three years ago.

Maintenance of the pitch for the next two years will be done by Afrikings homes which is part of the agreement of Memorandum of understanding, between the sports Ministry and Afrikings Homes limited.

Speaking during the visit to the training pitch, an elated Sunday Dare praised the Chairman of Afrikings Homes, Kingsley Awodi for his passion in sports development and also being one of those who keyed into the initiative.

Dare was satisfied with the improvement in re-grassing the pitch, hoping it will be completed and delivered to the Ministry before the hand over date. He expressed satisfaction with the job done, as the water sprinklers were working perfectly.

“We need to encourage and appreciate a young man like Kingsley Awodi for his passion in sports development, by adopting the training pitch with the aim of putting it in shape for the national teams.

They have done a great job here and hopefully it will be completed and handed to the Ministry before the end of this month”.

Dare, during the inspection stated the his administration has witnessed rehabilitation of sporting venues and infrastructures such as; the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, and the Daura Township Stadium.
