Plateau State Governor, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, has appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to support the completion and upgrading of the Jos Zaria Road Stadium into an international-standard sporting facility.
Governor Mutfwang made the appeal while welcoming President Tinubu to Plateau State during the APC North-Central Presidential Campaign Rally at the stadium in Jos.
The Governor described the facility as a major concern to the people of Plateau, noting that its construction began about 40 years ago but remains incomplete, making it a source of embarrassment to the state.
He appealed to the President to intervene and help transform the stadium into an international-standard facility that would serve as a symbol of pride for Plateau State and Nigeria.
According to Mutfwang, completing the stadium would not only address a longstanding concern but also provide a modern sporting facility capable of attracting major sporting events to the state.
The Governor expressed confidence that President Tinubu would respond positively to the appeal, recalling the Federal Government’s previous interventions in the state.
He also welcomed the President and appreciated his administration’s support, particularly in the security sector, expressing optimism that sustained collaboration would help address insecurity and restore lasting peace across Plateau State.
Mutfwang reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to working with the Federal Government to advance the development of Plateau State.
