Waits on Abia govt’ for import base materials
The Enyimba International Stadium, Aba is getting closer to completion after the contractor handling the project, Ebi Ezekiel Egbe, who is the Managing Director of Monimichelle Sports Facility Construction Company, confirmed to SportingLife that the sub base drainage construction has been rounded off under 40 days.
He said the 1,500m drainage was completed at record time and that he is only waiting on the import based materials to be shipped into the country.
Egbe told SportingLife that installation of the pitch takes only seven days and that FIFA certified specialist 100 natural Geo Technology pitch installers are on standby to get the job completed as soon as the import based materials are brought into the country and that with the completion of the sub base drainage construction the work is over 80 per cent done.
SportingLife checks ,however, revealed that with import based materials the only hindrance to the stadium’s completion, further let up may be the free fall of the foreign currencies’ exchange rates, especially Euros which the company is using to source the materials.
When the work was awarded in December last year €1 (Euros)exchanged for N275 but currently it is exchanged for over N400 . Enyimba will host Vipers of Uganda in the second leg of the preliminary round of the CAF Champions League in Port Harcourt’s Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium next week.
