Osun assembly commends Adeleke for stadium renovation

The Osun House of Assembly has commended Governor Ademola Adeleke for the ongoing reconstruction and renovation of the Osogbo Township Stadium.
Members of the Osun House of Assembly committee on sports and special needs gave the commendation after inspecting the stadium on Thursday in Osogbo.
The lawmakers said that the upgrade of the stadium, when completed, would boost sports development in the state.
The chairman of the committee, Abiola Awoyeye, said the renovation of the stadium was crucial to sports development in the state.
Mr Awoyeye said that the renovation and upgrading of the stadium to a world-class standard aligned with the governor’s commitment to sports development, talent discovery, and economic growth of the state.
The lawmaker said that upon completion of the renovation, the stadium would attract national and international sporting events, boosting the state’s position on the country’s sports map.
He expressed satisfaction with the level of work done so far and urged the contractor to deliver in record time.
In his remarks, the general manager of the state sports council, Ademola Daini, said that the upgrade of the stadium would encourage talent discovery in sports activities.
Mr Daini, however, noted that the state needed an Olympic-standard swimming pool to discover the best swimmers in the state.
