    “We are in charge of ensuring that everything is put in the right place as far as football development is concerned in the state, and the pitch is crucial towards achieving that mandate.

    “I will want to commend the State Governor, Malam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for the understanding, and the personality that is bankrolling the regrassing of the pitch, Barrister A. U Mustapha for their commitments.
