As part of its youth development programme, the  Ojodu Local Council Development Area will be building a mini stadia in Ojodu, the Area Council Chairman, Mr. Olusegun Odumbakun has disclosed.

The stadium will house a mini football pitch, a gym and basketball  court which will also serve as pitch for volleyball.

Odumbakun said that land for the facility had been acquired and work is expected to commence soon.

“We would have started construction in January, but the unexpected rise in the cost of building materials has made the initial N100 million cost unrealistic,” he lamented.

The Council chairman said that variations in the cost of materials notwithstanding, work will commence soon and will be completed in 10 months.
