….Dan Buram FC of Daura take on Kano Pillars FC of Kano

The much awaited time for the people of Daura in Katsina state to start using again their football pitch, comes at the right time.

Recall that prior to this, the Daura Stadium football pitch was in a pathetic state, unfit for playing football as the soil base could not support and sustain the growth of grass.

The efforts to bring the stadium’s football pitch back to a meaningful state was powered by the Minister of Youth and Sports Development; Mr. Sunday Dare whose Adoption Campaign Models have been paying-off, making his mandate to rehabilitate and develop sporting infrastructure across the country, a success so far.

The stadium’s new football pitch was brought about by the Minister leveraging on the said Adoption Model, getting Sir Kesington Adebutu to directly fund the rehabilitation and upgrade.

The new football pitch of the Daura Township Stadium will be opened officially today by 4pm, where Dan Buram FC of Daura will play against Kano Pillars FC of Kano

More thanks to the Honorable Minister of Youth and Sports Development for this upgrade, as we look forward to the opening of other sports facilities presently undergoing rehabilitation and upgrade.
