Bauchi govt to remodel Tafawa Balewa Stadium

This move, according to the state Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Muhammad Salis Gamawa, “is part of a broader effort to revamp sporting facilities in the state, including the dilapidated Olympic-size Bauchi swimming pool, Games Village, Sani Abacha Gymnasium, and multipurpose indoor sports hall.

“This partnership will not only provide a befitting venue for sports enthusiasts but also create opportunities for economic growth and development.”

Gamawa emphasised “the importance of having modern sports facilities, stating that they will enhance the performance of athletes, attract national and international competitions, and promote tourism.

“The recent Bauchi State Sports Festival, which saw Kirfi Local Government Area emerge as the overall winners with 27 medals, is a testament to the potential of sports development in the state.”
