The Super Eagles Chief Coach, Stephen Keshi, on Tuesday urged the Katsina State Government to complete the installation of facilities in the newly-commissioned Karkanda stadium in Katsina.
Keshi made the call in Katsina during a post-match interview, after the Super Eagles played a friendly match with Nigeria National League (NNL) side Spotlight Football Club in the stadium.
He said the installation of other sporting facilities in the stadium would help to boost football and other sports activities in the state.
“I commend the state government for constructing this stadium and I urge the state government to ensure a maintenance culture in running the stadium,” the coach said.
He said the Super Eagles look forward to the possibility of having some of their international or national engagements in the stadium.
“I am satisfied with the standard of the stadium,” Keshi said.
NAN reports that the match played in the 35,000-capacity Olympic-size stadium had ended goalless.
