The Chairman of Plateau State Football Association, Prince Hon(Dr) Suleiman Yahaya Kwande has reflected and reeled out importance of the visit carried out on the Rwang Pam Township Stadium by the Executive Governor of Plateau State, Barrister Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang and the Nigeria Football Federation President, Alh. Ibrahim Musa Gusau.
Speaking to the media, the PFA Chairman, who had to leave Kwande, Qua’apan Local Government Area, very early where his father’s coronation as the Long Kwo of Kwo took place told journalists:
“First and foremost this visit will put the contractors on their toes and hasten the good work they are doing at the stadium. The visit is a good one for us on the Plateau. It shows that the NFF President is concerned that the stadium is been built to standard of CAF and FIFA, which of course the Executive Governor of Plateau State has been hammering on making sure the stadium is put to standard that can attract both national, continental and international matches to Jos.”
Prince Kwande continues: “His Excellency, Barrister Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang knows that this is one avenue to bring income to the State and maximise what is spent on sports. And one of the cheering news is that the President has already assured us of hosting and seeing the National teams play in Jos and thank goodness we are blessed with the sweet and conducive weather. We will even start seeing teams from outside camp in Jos.”
He concluded: “This visit is an august one. It’s not every State that can bring the NFF President to come inspect ongoing work at the stadium, he normally goes to commission stadium and not to inspect. It’s a big plus for the State. We thank him for coming and we thank our sports loving Governor for creating time and taking him round for inspection on how far the work on the stadium has gone.
Also present on the inspection carried out on the ongoing work at the Rwang Pam Township Stadium are the State Commissioner For Youths and Sports Development, Hon. Musa Ashoms, NFF’s Nasiru Jibril, former Commissioner for Youths and Sports Development now Commissioner for Water Resources, Hon. Bashir Lawandi Datti, PFA Board Members, among others.
