Posted : 31 July 2025

Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to sports development during a meeting with a delegation from the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), led by its President, Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau.

 

Governor Otti announced plans to upgrade the Umuahia Township Stadium to benefit Abia Warriors Football Club and other local teams as part of a short-term infrastructure plan.

"We will upgrade it to a standard township stadium while working on a long-term solution through the Abia Stadium City, which will feature an entertainment village, plazas, a conference centre, and residential apartments," he said.

 

He described the stadium as a unifying force in sports and reiterated his government’s full support for the NFF’s objectives. He also extended congratulations to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the recent successes of the Super Falcons, pledging to elevate Abia’s status as a sporting hub in Nigeria.

 

NFF President Alhaji Gusau commended Abia State as the "home of Nigerian football" and appealed for support in renovating the Umuahia Township Stadium. He assured the state of the federation’s technical assistance in achieving its sports development goals.

 

The meeting was attended by key stakeholders, including the Abia State Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development, Sir Nwaobilor Ananaba, and the Chairman of Abia Warriors, Mr. John Obuh.
