“We saw the efforts the government is making to develop sports through its adopt initiative and decided to partner with the ministry to further drive the opportunities provided by the government for our teeming youth to excel in sports.”

In a reaction, Minister of Sports, Dare said: “We started the Adopt-A-Pitch-Initiative which we have seen delivered to the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, Abuja, where we have seen more than 14 international matches played there already. The National Stadium, Surulere, is coming up but we just have to be patient to get it right because after 19 years of neglect, things have rusted, things were stolen and we have to get it right. We have also seen Daura Stadium done.

“To have Afrikings adopt a pitch in Abuja is exciting because I know this will bring others to partner with us. We have started implementing sports as a business policy which means we must leverage on private sector participation.
