The progress made so far toward the development of the Nadwoli Sports Complex has been praised by Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin.

The Speaker of Parliament and the Ghana Gas Company Limited are funding the project, which is being carried out by the Wembley Sports Construction company.

Speaker Bagbin expressed pleasure with the work achieved thus far during a site inspection exercise and pushed for the adoption of the proper maintenance culture after the sports facility was finished.

From what I've seen so far, it's a sight to behold, and the pitch, as the construction manager has mentioned, is the best so far that is being built in the nation.

"The size of the pitch which is 75 by 1/10 is a bit above the standard size...the biggest is usually 120 by 75 but in Ghana, we are yet to have such a size so what we have to do is to ensure that we adopt a sound maintenance culture,” he added.

Meanwhile, an official from Wembley Sports Construction, Simon Lamptey said that his outfit will not compromise on quality as it gears up to execute the second phase of the project.

“Phase 2 will see the construction of running tracks which will commence from next year and the next focus after the actual playing area is done is to commence the construction of the spectator stand,” Lamptey added.

When completed, the Nadwoli multi-purpose sports complex will have a FIFA standard 11-aside pitch, fencing, floodlights, spectator stands, changing rooms, multi-purpose courts and a VIP stand.
