NFF bans the use of Stadium for non sporting activities

 The Nigeria Football Federation, (NFF) has resolved to ban the use of the National stadia nationwide for non sporting activities to reduce the cost of maintenance.
According to NAN report, Chairman of Enugu Football Association Chidi Offor-Okenwa, said on Wednesday they do not have the right of hosting religious or political activities in the stadium as these lead to rapid deterioration of the facilities
"The good people of Enugu State and of course, the government of Enugu State appreciates the fact that stadia in Enugu State are purely for sporting activities.
“We (presently) don’t have a record of hosting religious activities at the main bowl of Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium.
“In Enugu here, the stadium is actually meant for football; it is meant for athletes, it is meant for indoor games and we appropriately put the facilities in use in that vein.
“So also for Rangers (International FC, Enugu) camp and of course the UNEC (University of Nigeria Enugu Campus) stadium.
“We ensure that we don’t conduct any religious activity; any unsporting activity in our facilities.
“And we take that message to all the nooks and crannies of Nigeria to ensure that the (sporting) facilities last and serve the purpose (for) which it was built with the tax payers money.’’
He said that the stadium managers have been duly communicated on the  “unsporting and extraneous activities’’ (NAN)
