The Chief Executive Officer of Monimichelle Group Ebi Egbe has hailed the decision of Kwara United to prosecute their continental home games at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena formerly Onikan Stadium in Lagos.
Egbe whose outfit constructed the stadium turf said the Afonja Warriors have made a choice that would make them fly in the continent just as Enyimba had done over the years.
“Choosing MJA is no doubt a good move by Kwara United,” Egbe said.“Playing on a good turf is quite important when you are in the continent.
“Kwara United would have been used to the same kind of turf they would be playing when they play in the North African axis. What we have at MJA is a state of the art turf just like the one in Aba at the Enyimba Stadium,” Egbe added.
He said his outfit is at the ready to adequately prepare the turf before the home games of Kwara United, even as he commended Lagos State government for upgrading the arena.
It would be noted that the MJA was used during the maiden Aisha Buhari Women’s football tournament with all the participating countries giving Monimichelle thumbs up over the pitch.
Incidentally, the second Nigerian team in the CAF Confederation Cup, Remo Stars would also be playing on a turf constructed by Monimichelle at their Ikenne Stadium home.
