Former Nigerian footballers Daniel Amokachi, Garba Lawal, and Emmanuel Babayaro expressed their gratitude to Governor Uba Sani for fulfilling a 30-year-old promise. The Dream Team, who won the Olympic gold medal in 1996, had been promised land and streets named after them, but these promises were never fulfilled. Amokachi, a renowned football manager, stated that Governor Sani gave them plots of land and directed that streets should also be named after those who did not receive the same recognition.
The new Ahmadu Bello Stadium project, being inspected by Amokachi, is set to become a world-class facility when completed. Lawal described it as a FIFA-standard stadium that will allow the Super Eagles to train locally instead of traveling to Uyo. Babayaro noted that the stadium project has rejuvenated football in Kaduna State. Governor Sani thanked the football veterans for their contributions to the development of sports and football in Kaduna State, highlighting the state's reputation as the leading footballing state in Nigeria.
