Bogus white elephant project in a state where fresh agro product is as expensive as gold. Smh . chai, I chop satchet tomato that year !!!

This is misplaced. Am sure monies been used here can be benefial to some schools, hospitals, communities.

You try my Governor at list you did something for yr dear state....

Nonnyflex:
Misplaced priorities.. White elephant projects that won't be maintained

I like this, and it will definitely be one of my visiting points when I go to Eket. That's because I was very pleased with what I saw at the Uyo Stadium. Please can you state the only befitting stadium used to hold international football events in the entire country?

Good people with sound mind and good governance. Kudos.

hmmmmmm new way to siphon the dough

Tonyebarcanista.U support dis kain evil wastage bah? i give up on Niagrans politicians. Bunch of thieves

The true definition of waste and "money-miss-road" is the Nigerian public servant.

Ludacris and a huge shame.

If developing sport in the state is the excuse for this wanton waste of public fund to enable the pilfering of a substantial sum from a single project, that will be very laughable.

Without any stress, the amount budgeted for this one stadium would have created a mini-stadium or training pitch in all the L.G.A's of the state, where the youths will be able to hone and perfect their skills for an annual competition they could have tagged "The Governors Cup" to be staged at the main stadium already on ground.

Mumu people...make una come make I dey give una ideas from all the countries wey I don waka go..

Enjoy my siggy for my waka story..
Let's not also forget to make the young man who climbed the mast to protest the institutional and economic rot in the Nigerian system with his friends trend too. I read they were arraigned today in court for protesting peacefully.

Is Akwa Ibom trying to host World Cup?

I think Olympics

I think they better change the name to Stadium state

What Eket needs most is GOOD ROADS THAT MEET INTERNATIONAL STANDARD!
Eket has only one good, reliable road, Marina road. All others are political roads that were designed to fail on completion.

TonyeBarcanista is not reporting news from Akwa ibom
what happened
they don shortchange my guy?

Lipscomb:
Wasting of money. And what is wrong with udom using walking stick at that age?

Money miss road.

Where is the Industries he said he will established?

Hence the fallout with his predecessor, typical Nigerian leadership style. He too is interested in building a new stadia facility to make more money for him self.

Did you see a state of the art teaching hospital, hospital, University, how much is Uyo stadium bringing in? How is this helping build economy, what do those games gross?

No too much kickback from construction of good roads or bridges and industry so he decided to construct another stadium, the one akpabio construct nobody dey use am dis one dey built another one,with all the oil money akwa ibom dey receive from federal allocation akwa ibom children still full every where dey do house maid and house boy,with akwa ibom stadium how many Nigerian league title akwa ibom state don carry?

tonybarcnista should answer this question.

obongkaks:
The other stadiums are well maintained

The truth is that since we don't have a lucrative league maintaining it will always drain the pocket of the govt.. Even the one that is in the nation's capital is not faring well... Even if they can maintain it at the detriment of the tax payers money... Isn't there other more important projects that akwa Ibom people need?

kunkelhanspeter:

Talk what u know and keep quiet � what u don’t know
Akwa Ibom have the best road in south south even agro

when their children still full every where dey do house boy and house maid others ashawo with the ones their parents troway and call them witches pls pls

to all those guys saying this project is rubbish are very confuse. do you know how much dey charge a football game in a stadium, just think about the reason why ambode is trying to collect the lagos national stadium from the federal government so that he can renovate it.

I wonder when governor Ugwuanyi will start a capital project.

prospero5:
na stadium the people go chop?
why not channel the fund into constructing roads first or agro-support?

Ibom have one of the best roads in nigeria..

They are currently working on nkubia road.. U really need to see it..

Something is fundamentally wtong with the black man. Irrespective of the educational attainment of the black man , he must flounder and act according to the rogue DNA inherent in him.

Akwaibom can boast of a world class sporting facility already.

Why not carve a niche in other areas? The level of poverty in that state is alarming.


Udom, your flowery curriculum vitae is a waste.

Just trying to dwarf his political godfather...unnecessary competition.

Akwa Ibo has numerous professional teams, the gov said he needs to give them a befitting home ground. Super eagles took the Uyo Stadium, most of our matches are played in secondary school pitch. The government is investing in sports, ask Rinaldo how much he is worth. Check out the position of akwa Ibom in the last sport festival compared to previous ones. Akwa united is north disappointing righter as many young lads left the shores of Nigeria. In the nearest future, you will appreciate this investment. For those shouting misplaced priority, Akwa Ibo is the fastest developing economy in Nigeria. Uyo remains the fastest growing town in Nigeria. Best state with road connectivity to all LGA headquarters, highest time to anywhere from centre of Uyo is 90mins due to good road network. Worthy of mention is the fact that Eket senatorial district was the only one left without a state owned Stadium, Akpabio built in Ikot Ekpene and Uyo. So chill and let's misplace the priority for equity sake atleast. Amem??

How much does the sport ministry generate.... how much revenue is this stadium capable of generating to sustain it? Won’t the workers and structure become redundant, ultimately liability to the government? Is building a stadium way to start sport tourism? I don’t think so

Yet the governor is owing workers and pensioners! Shame on our visionless governors! They are the main reason the Nigerian economy is not working. No one should blame Buhari! The problem is mainly with the corrupt wasteful state governments!

When the people are hungry they will go and sit in the stadia and be looking at themselves in the eye.
