Kaduna will become Nigeria’s sports hub, says commissioner

Kaduna State's Commissioner for Information and Culture, Ahmed Maiyaki, announced plans to position Kaduna as Nigeria's premier sports hub through significant infrastructure upgrades. The focus includes reconstructing the Ahmadu Bello Stadium with a capacity of 32,000, aiming to make it the second-largest in Nigeria after Abuja's National Stadium. The project aims to host both local and international sporting events, stimulate tourism, and generate employment. Maiyaki highlighted the historical significance of the stadium in producing Nigerian football stars and noted that private investors are interested in related developments like hotel accommodations for athletes. The initiative is supported by improved security in Kaduna, which has fostered confidence in the region's stability and business environment. The Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) has chosen Kaduna to host its 2026 National Triennial Congress, reflecting increased trust in the area's conditions.
