The Samson Siasia Stadium in Nigeria is almost complete with opening date set for December this year; this is according to the contractor- Monimichelle Sports Facility Construction Limited who is handling the rehabilitation work.
FIFA match agent, Ebi Egbe, who is a stadium facility expert and the CEO of Monimichelle confirmed the reports and said that delay in the completion of the playing pitch and other parts of the stadium was due to contract variation caused by the slump of the naira in the international market.
