Sporting Facility: Intervene Before It Is Too Late, SWAN Urges Ondo State Government

 

The Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN), Ondo Chapter has called on the state government to urgently intervene in the dwindling fortunes of sport in the State.

This is coming after several stakeholders had urged the state government to, as a matter of urgency, attend to issues causing continuous delay in the upgrading of Ondo State Sports Complex, Akure.

There have been recent complaints of lack of funds/attention for other sports like basketball, volleyball, hockey and handball, among others.

Also, the state owned football team Sunshine Stars now play all their matches in the Nigeria Premier Football League, away from their original home ground in Akure Stadium thus plunging the club into relegation scares.

Sunshine Stars’ journey within the second week of December had been very rough, travelling around the country in a spate of seven days with a rickety bus.
