The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), under the leadership of Ibrahim Gusau, has commenced the construction of a hostel and a standard football pitch at the MKO Abiola Stadium in Abuja.
The project, which began on Monday, aims to enhance football development at the grassroots level. By Tuesday morning, work was already in progress as contractors were seen clearing the site, with bulldozers removing trees to prepare the area for construction.
According to the NFF General Secretary, Mohamed Sanusi, the initiative aligns with Gusau's campaign promise to promote grassroots football. “The project is aimed at developing football at the grassroots and fulfilling one of the President’s campaign promises,” Sanusi stated.
Once completed, the facilities will serve as a training and camping base for Nigeria's U15, U17, and U20 boys’ and girls’ national teams. The conception, design, planning, and procurement phases have been finalized, and the project has now entered the construction phase.
This development underscores the NFF's commitment to providing infrastructure that supports young talents and strengthens the foundation of Nigerian football.
