"From what we've seen on site, a lot has been achieved. This project is particularly important to the sports development of our youth. The contractors informed me that they fast-tracked the project according to our timeline.

"We don't want a situation, where during the inspection of the race track by the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN), the international body, IAAF, would reject it for not meeting the required standards. The reason why some race qualifying results were cancelled.

"I want you to expedite action on the project as we want Osun United and Osun Babes to prosecute the next football season in Osogbo. So we want to see a significant improvement in the facility."

Arc. John Ewule, the Project Manager, Maxwell Int'l Venture assured the sound State Deputy Governor of the timely completion of the state-of-the-art project.
