One obvious thing about the outgoing governor of Lagos State Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode is that he is a lover of sports, especially football. You can't live in Lagos without being a sports person. In fact, one of the cardinal objectives of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode’s administration is Project T.H.E.S.E, an acronym which stands for Tourism, Hospitality, Entertainment and Sports for Excellence. Onikan Stadium is a popular stadium in Lagos state, it's a stadium which has played host to series of games across the length and breadth of the nation. The objective of the Lagos State Government is to turn the Onikan axis into world-class entertainment and tourism zone with special focus on sports and showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the State. The Onikan Stadium, located on Lagos Island close to Tafawa Balewa Square, was built in 1930. The stadium was formerly named King Geroge V before it was renamed Lagos City Stadium. The stadium was last renovated in the 1980s. The stadium is famous for being the home ground for top Nigerian clubs such as Stationery Stores FC, First Bank, and Julius Berger and has a sitting capacity of 5,000. The stadium also played host to the 1999 Youth World Cup, hosted by Nigeria.

In March, we reported on the slow pace of work on this edifice as the contractor handling the project, Slavabogu Nigeria Ltd seems lost as to what to do. When completed, the Onikan Stadium will be able to accommodate spectators of 5000 people and the edifice will accommodate up to 8,000 and 9, 000. AutoReportNG was in Onikan over the weekend and so far, the level of work on this edifice is encouraging. Please note that outsiders are allowed access to the site, we don't know why its a problem taking pictures of Lagos State Govt but we always have our way, we strive to go the extra length and we got some images from those working there who are kind enough to send us some images. So far, the roofings have been fixed, the tiling is ongoing, the seats are being laid as we speak and many other things being done simultaneously.

Can't they do something like a dome that can be covered since its a 5000 capacity? So that it can be used as an event center for big concert etcetera. To me TBS is still better than this 5 Likes 1 Share |

Lagos needs an urgent deescalation of its population. This can easily be done by relocating about 4% of its population in rural areas to Ibadan and Abeokuta, every year until we achieve a New York-like status for it. As it stands now, I can't see myself living in Lagos and having to spend an average of 3 hours every day in the traffic. 17 Likes 1 Share |

Daviddson:the solution is to have good transport system between lagos, Ogun and oyo. Then, people can live in neighbouring state n work in lagos, just as in developed nations. Lagos is an economic capital, people must rush in. 23 Likes 1 Share |
