The football pitch of the Moshood Abiola National Stadium will get a major facelift with the implementation of the Adopt-A-Pitch Campaign by the ministry of youth and sports.
The youth and sports minister, Sunday Dare, announced on his social media platform that Dangote Industries owned by billionaire Alhaji Aliko Dangote was partnering the ministry in the Adopt-A-Pitch Campaign.
“Many thanks to Dangote Industries and indeed Alhaji Aliko Dangote for partnering with the Ministry of Youth and Sports Development to restore the football pitch and score board of the Moshood Abiola National stadium. Our Adopt-A-Pitch Campaign program is on course,” Dare said.
The minister said work will commence in two weeks. He also said three other major stadiums will be repaired with the Adopt-A-Pitch campaign.
“Work will start in another week or two weeks.
“And we will use the same model, we will adopt the pitch model for several of our stadia. At least, the three other big ones.
“We are looking at between now and March we should have four big stadia, football pitches, FIFA standard.”
