NFF Inspects Uyo Stadium Renovation Work

Ahead of next month’s 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying match between Nigeria’s Super Eagles and their Algerian counterparts at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) inspection team has been monitoring ongoing renovation work at the stadium.

After the first tour of the venue on Saturday the second inspection has been fixed for Tuesday, while the final inspection will come up on Wednesday, 2 November 2016.

This is in line with the NFF’s promise to get the Akwa Ibom State Government to work on the turf, following complaints by Super Eagles’ players after last month’s 2017 Cup of Nations qualifier against Tanzania about the bad nature of the turf. Super Eagles players were not happy with state of the Uyo stadium pitch.

According to a press release from the NFF, the Deputy General Secretary, Dr. Emmanuel Ikpeme; Assistant Director (Technical) Siji Lagunju and Chief Sports Officer, Sunday Okayi were taken on the tour of the venue by Monday Uko, the Akwa Ibom State Commissioner for Youth and Sports and the Commissioner for Special Duties, Etido Inyang.

The consultant to Julius Berger, the construction company handling the work, was with the team.

“It is a task that we are approaching with all seriousness, and we want to appreciate the Akwa Ibom State Government for the seriousness that it is also attaching to this important task,” Ikpeme told thenff.com.
