Stadium manager warns atheletes on the use of edifice

The Manager, National Stadium, Lagos, Abolore Alanamu, on Thursday warned athletes using the place to comply with the training schedules to enable the management adequate time to maintain the facilities.


Alanamu told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos that training had been scheduled to hold on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 7 a.m. and 11 a.m.

He said the schedule was extended from two to three days to enable athletes preparing for the Commonwealth Games and other international competitions to prepare well.

“We are very serious about the training time and want total compliance from the athletes because the management is aware that some athletes use the facility to prepare for competitions.

“The additional one-day is for them to have more than enough time to maximise their training programmes so that they will come out fine at the end of the day.

“The cleanliness and maintenance of the facility is very important, this is the reason we need the two days in between to carry out the sanitation exercise,’’ he said.

The manager advised users of the environment to imbibe the habit of disposing their waste at the appropriate places in the sports city.

“I am sure that they will be happy to train in uncontaminated place; therefore, they should also contribute to ensuring that the place is always tidy,’’ he said.
