Governor Uba Sani has promised that the Ahmadu Bello Stadium will be transformed into a FIFA-standard sports facility, capable of hosting international competitions.
He noted that the stadium was built in 1965 and will need to be completely remodeled to meet the needs of modern times.
Governor Uba Sani disclosed that the stadium will have a seating capacity of 32,000 upon completion of the remodeling, doubling its current capacity.
