Enugu State is undertaking a comprehensive overhaul of the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, with Governor Peter Mbah saying the facility is expected to be ready for the 2026 National Sports Festival.
Governor Mbah inspected the stadium project site to assess progress on the ongoing works, describing the intervention as a comprehensive overhaul of the sports facility.
The governor said the project is intended to restore the stadium to a standard suitable for Enugu's sporting activities and history, while providing a modern venue for athletes and visitors.
The inspection comes ahead of the 2026 National Sports Festival, for which the governor stated that the stadium is expected to be ready.
The source does not provide a detailed breakdown of the works completed, outstanding construction components or the project's financial value, so the report does not infer completion beyond the governor's stated timeline.
The stadium remains an active infrastructure project, with the state government linking its completion to hosting activities associated with the forthcoming National Sports Festival.
