PINNICK Amaju, Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) boss has showered encomiums on MONIMICHELLE Sports Facilities and its boss, Ebi Egbe over the state of the art artificial pitches it is constructing in the country.
The ex-Delta FA chief who was at the Samson Siasia Stadium, Yenagoa Bayelsa State on a tour was marveled at the progress of works done so far
Amaju: "I must commend Monimichelle for bringing the latest and safest artificial turf approved by FIFA to Nigeria. I also must give Bayelsa State government kudos for embarking on the project and giving it to a competent indigenous firm. This is what other states should emulate because of our terrain. There is so much rain in this part of the world and what we need is the kind of turf Monimichelle is installing.”
Amaju stressed that he looks forward to playing first at the new turf alongside his executive committee members. Pinnick Pinnick “I want to come back to Yenagoa as soon as possible to play here. I hope the project is completed in record time. I want the NFF and the rest of the world to play here during our extra ordinary congress and after that I will get the technical committee to endorse it for the Super Eagles,” Amaju said.
The NFF boss also had kind words for a former board member of the soccer federation, Dr Peter Singabele who he described as a worthy son of Bayelsa and a football buff with integrity.
CEO of Monimichelle , Ebi Egbe on his part assured that his company will do a good job insisting that the mission of his outfit is to eradicate bad pitches not only in Nigeria but the whole of Africa.
“From what we are doing, the turf will be as dry as a desert even when it rains heavily as it does always in the Niger Delta region. And we have a Limonta product that is safe and lush green. Our pitch made with cocoa nut fiber and cork is like a natural turf. It is cool and players enjoy playing on it.
The Super Eagles did attest to his assertion when they played at the Karkanda Stadium in Katsina, a pitch that was installed by us,” Egbe said.
With the progress of work done so far, the Samson Siasia Stadium will be ready for international matches and Nigeria Premier League games.
It will also serve as the home ground of former NPL champions, Bayelsa United who could pick a promotion spot this weekend if the win their final home game hoping that Crown FC and Gateway United slack.
