It would be recalled that the sport living governor had released money for the upgrading of the stadium to its enviable and magnificent status to host MFM FC Champions League matches and was supervised by the S.A Facilities.

Yusuf further during chat assures that the Management and players of Plateau United will not regret playing their CAF Cup Play Offs in Lagos saying all necessary things needed to make the Jos based team feel at home would be made available.

“This is a good development for sport in the state and it will show that the huge amount of money expended on the upgrading of the stadium by the governor was not a waste.

This also shows that other teams can use the facility as it will showcase the rich sport culture of Lagos State,” he said during the chat.
