The National Sports Commission has taken over the abandoned Ugborodo mini stadium project in Delta State and plans to complete the facility, with the stadium set to be named after First Lady Oluremi Tinubu, The PUNCH reports.
NSC Chairman Shehu Dikko disclosed this while attending the fifth coronation anniversary of the Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse III, where he also featured in a novelty match involving former internationals and other prominent figures in Nigerian sports.
“We are not leaving just like that. The National Sports Commission, on behalf of President Bola Tinubu, has adopted the Ugborodo mini stadium, which was being done by FIFA before,” Dikko said in an update shared on the NSC’s X page.
Dikko also revealed that the facility would be named after the First Lady once completed.
“We want to complete it because we are developing the same thing across the country. After completing it, it is going to be named after our First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu,” he said.
