Tornadoes will return to their original base Bako Kontagora Memorial Stadium
Minna earlier than envisaged state commissioner for youths and sports Mamman Musa
has confirmed.
He made the
submission during an unscheduled visit to the stadium to ascertain the pace of ongoing
renovation work.
The
commissioner who was accompanied by some Directors in the ministry said he was
happy that the contractor handling the job has been following specifications
handed by the League Management Company (LMC)
According to
him, "the ministry is fully satisfied and impressed with the level of work
done so far, and I urge them to continue in that spirit and government would continue
to give its support to see to the quick completion of the renovation work at
the stadium"
Hon Musa
re-echoed his call for supporters of the club to be patient with government as
everything is being done to fast track the club's return to base.
“We are doing
our best to make both the players and the technical crew feels the turf of our
brand new stadium before the second round of the league and this will be pursued
vigorously”. he maintained
He then
advised management to pick up their game and break even now that the government
has thrown his weight behind them saying they should try and make the state proud
in their campaign in the 2015/2016 NPFL season.
Tornadoes
have been recording what some have described as average result in the matches
played so far but others believe that there is still time for impressive run.
Tornadoes
enjoyed a lone goal victory against hard fighting El kanemi on Sunday in Lokoja
and have since intensified training ahead of their clash against Enyimba at the
weekend.
