The Zamfara State Government has concluded arrangements to construct an ultra modern stadium in Gusau.

This was disclosed by the Special Adviser on Sports to the Governor, Hon Habib Yuguda Gusau, while briefing journalists on preparation by the state for the football league that is about to start in the country.

He said the stadium, when completed, would be the first of its kind in the whole of the North West of Nigeria as it is of international standard.

He said what remains is the finishing touches on the plan and quantity survey.

He said the state government would release N100 million for the rehabilitation and reconstruction of Ahmadu Bello Stadium in Gusau and other sporting facilities in the state.

He further said that new players had been recruited for Zamfara United Football Club to enhance its chances of winning the trophy in this year’s tournament as the players were placed on a better salary and allowance to enhance their performance.

Habib said sport is a top priority of the state government because of its enormous importance to the youth, as a unifying factor for peaceful coexistence among the society people.

He appealed to youth in the state to imbibe the spirit of sportsmanship in all their dealings.
