Akwa Ibom here I come!
Akpabio is showcasing their majestic stadium already approved
by the Confederation of African Football for the crucial 2015 Africa Cup of
Nations qualifier between Nigeria and South Africa on November 19, as one of
the key points of his uncommon transformation of the oil –rich State.
To inaugurate the 30,000 capacity facility, President
Goodluck Jonathan, GCFR will lead Ghanaian leader, Dr. John Dramani Mahama and
Ivorian Head of State, Dr. Alassane Ouattara to the stately Akwa Ibom International
Stadium, Uyo this evening.

Apart from Presidents Jonathan, Mahama and Ouattara, a
number of Governors from across Nigeria are expected, while President of
Nigeria Football Federation, Mr. Amaju Melvin Pinnick and some Executive
Committee members and Management staff arrived in Uyo on Thursday evening.
The magnificent edifice with a bullet –proof State Box
that has 70 seats, has been described by the Vice President of Ghana Football
Association, Mr. Fred Crentsil (who was sent by CAF to inspect the venue) as
being “among the best you can find anywhere in the world.”
The high point of the commissioning is an
international friendly match between the Home –based Senior National Team of
Nigeria, Super Eagles B, and the U-23 National Team of Ghana, nicknamed Black
Meteors.
Don’t be left out…
