The Kebbi State Government is in joyous mood as the Fédération Internationale de Football Association, FIFA, commenced the construction of a mini-stadium in Birnin Kebbi, the State capital on Monday.
Governor Abubakar Atiku Bagudu graced the event with other top officials in the state.
The project is sponsored by world football governing body, FIFA and enabled by the Nigeria Football Federation represented by Alhaji Ibrahim Musa.
Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, Secretary-General, Dr Mohammed Sanusi also showed up with couples of other NFF officials.
Bagudu poured eulogies on FIFA and the NFF for considering the Kebbi for the record-breaking project.
It will go down the history book that Kebbi was the first State to benefit from the FIFA Forward 2-0 projects.
“I am excited by this project, and it is important that we make good use of it to the maxium. I have always said that sport is an important tool of development in any society. A society can only develop if it searches for, encourages and reward performance,” the governor said.
