The SSG emphasised the need for the Gombe State Sports Commission to redouble efforts towards making the state an International sporting arena.
Njodi said, “Am happy that the stadium here is of International standard. I assure you that His Excellency is not going to rest until the stadium attains the status it deserves.”
He advised management of the Sports Commission to collaborate with relevant stakeholders and come up with a comprehensive write up for the Governor endorsement and action.
