The Site Manager of SANA Group Limited, Mr Yasser Aishamah, has assured organisers of the forthcoming National Sports Festival (NSF), that the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu, would be ready for the event.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the 23rd edition of the Festival, tagged “Coal City Enugu 2026 Games”, will be hosted by Enugu State from Nov. 28 to Dec. 12.

Speaking to journalists on Friday in Enugu, Aishamah, said that 90 per cent of the VIP roofing had been completed, while work was ongoing to finish the remaining 10 per cent.

He said that about 70 per cent of the cladding had also been completed.

“The VIP roof is temporary just for the event; we will remove it to sit the final roof.

“Already, we have finished 65-70 per cent of the cladding. What remains, we will handle before Nov. 21,” he said.

According to him, 12 teams are currently working on the cladding.

“On the roofing columns we will finish the columns in eight days; if we do five columns every day, within eight days we will finish the columns. There are 85 columns for the roofing,” he said.
He described Enugu as a “nice place”.

“We are happy working in Enugu. We want to tell them that we will finish before the commencement of the National Sports Festival,” he stated.(NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
