.The governor said he inspected the stadium and found out that the facilities were in state of disrepair.
The governor siad, “This is another step in the right direction, positioning Oyo State to attract investments. I hear some people are already saying we should slow down but I am here to tell them that this is not the time to even think of slowing down.

“When the history of this place was being traced just now, they flagged off this facility 44 years ago. It was commissioned 32 years ago.
“I came here once to watch a 3SC game and, at half time, I went to the changing room to talk to and encourage the players but I could not believe what I saw: players sat on the bare floor. And I asked myself, is this where we want to mould world-class athletes?
