Adegoke emphasised, “I would like to kindly request members of the public who have left their vehicles abandoned on these premises to promptly remove them. The state’s Traffic Management Agency will impound any vehicles left after 21 days. The stadium is intended for sporting activities and recreation, not as a parking lot.”
She further added, “I also encourage the shop owners and artisans within this vicinity to utilise the facilities appropriately and maintain cleanliness.
“The government remains committed to advancing sports and initiating empowerment programs to enhance the lives of our youth in the state.”
