Wike Pledges Completion of Abandoned Gwagwalada Mini-Stadium.
Wike gave the assurance yesterday during an interactive town hall meeting with stakeholders of the Rainbow Coalition at the newly constructed Gwagwalada Civic Centre.
He said the completion of the facility would provide young people in the area with a platform to engage in sporting activities, develop their talents and potentially produce athletes capable of representing Nigeria at national and international competitions.
The minister described the youths’ request for a functional sporting facility as modest but important, stressing that access to basic sports infrastructure could help discover future stars.
“The youths have said here that they are not asking much. Where they can play sports morning, evening, weekend, play football. You never can tell, one day we will have somebody like Lionel Messi, we are talking about Mbappé. You are not asking for too much,” he said.
