Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri has expressed satisfaction with the pace and quality of work at the Jimeta Ultra-Modern Stadium.
The governor who was on an unexpected inspection visit to the project site stated that with the rainy season coming to an end, he expects rapid progress in the next five months to meet the project’s completion timeline.
Governor Fintiri emphasized that state funds have been allocated for the project and every penny must be accounted for, hence the need for the visit to ensure proper utilization of the funds.
He also assured of his administration’s dedication to revitalizing sports activities in the state, moving into the second phase of the project which includes the construction of sports arenas for hockey, basketball, lawn tennis, handball, and swimming.
The Governor highlighted that the football pitch project, as well as the track and field, will not only promote sporting activities but also create employment opportunities for the youth.
Governor Fintiri expressed optimism that the project will be completed ahead of schedule. Following the stadium inspection, he proceeded to inspect the ongoing Super Highway road project spanning from Welcome to Yola to the AA LAWAN junction, initiated by his administration.
