Agege Stadium’s Scoreboard Dead!

Fans have expressed disappointment over the non-functioning of the scoreboard at the Agege Stadium venue for the Women Football event of the ongoing 18th National Sports Festival in Lagos.

Some of them said the scoreboard should have been been connected to allow the spectators know the details of the games and identity of the players who come from other states. Wosilat Ogunjobi, a mobile telephone airtime  card seller, said that the facility should have been ready before the commencement of the competition.

“The scoreboard gives details of the goals scored in a match and as such should have been made functional earlier than now,” she said.

Also, John Bala, a security guard said that it was shameful seeing workers still working on the scoreboard while matches were going on.

“The spectators who came late for the match had to ask people about the situation in a match or its outcome whereas they could have seen it on the board,’’ he said.

Others who spoke said the state government had done well in getting ready the facilities for the Games and blamed the contractors for the delaying the completion of some. Workers were seen working on the scoreboard when matches were being played.
