Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, has expressed satisfaction with the pace and quality of work at the Jimeta Ultra-Modern Stadium as the project nears completion, signaling that the light at the end of the tunnel is within sight.
During an unexpected inspection visit to the construction site, Governor Fintiri noted that with the rainy season coming to an end, it’s time to put the pedal to the metal.
He expects a significant acceleration of work over the next five months, ensuring the project crosses the finish line right on time.
He emphasized that state funds allocated for the project have been fully released, and every naira must be accounted for, hammering home the importance of his visit to ensure that not a single kobo goes down the drain.
The governor reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to breathing new life into sporting activities across Adamawa.
The Governor also took the wraps off plans for a second phase of development, which will see the stadium evolve into a full-blown sports hub with arenas for hockey, basketball, lawn tennis, handball, and swimming.
“A Game Changer for the Youth”
Governor Fintiri painted a bright picture of the impact this project would have, particularly in engaging the youth through sports while opening the door to countless employment opportunities.
The stadium is poised to be a springboard for young talents to shine.
Fintiri also expressed optimism that the project would cross the finish line ahead of schedule, raising the bar for future projects in the state.
Following the stadium inspection, the governor shifted gears and proceeded to review the ongoing Super Highway road project, which stretches from the “Welcome to Yola” area to the AA Laman junction—another feather in his administration’s cap.
