A former Governor of Oyo State, Adebayo Alao-Akala, has advised incumbent Governor Seyi Makinde to give the remodeled Lekan Salami Stadium Complex in Adamasingba, Ibadan, utmost priority.
Alao-Akala, also an All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, commended Makinde for remodelling the stadium to a befitting edifice.
He spoke at the inauguration of the remodelled stadium on Wednesday night in Ibadan.
“If I am to give any advice, I will just say they should permanently give this facility to someone to maintain.
“Our maintenance culture is very poor.
“So, for it not to deteriorate and get out of hand again, we have to engage somebody who will continually maintain it,” the former governor said.
Furthermore, Alao-Akala said he was at the event as an elderstatesman, who had also served the state in such capacity.
The former governor said he owed the state a duty of participating in anything that has to do with the development and progress of the state.
