Kebbi to construct Para-soccer stadium in Birnin Kebbi

Dr Nasir Idris, the Kebbi State Governor, has vowed to build a Para-soccer stadium in Birnin Kebbi to promote the sport and provide persons with disabilities a feeling of belonging.

The Governor made the announcement on Saturday while addressing as a special guest at the final of the Para-soccer competition in Birnin Kebbi, the state capital.

Birnin Kebbi defeated Jega 3-0 to become champions.
Idris commented that once completed, the stadium would not only raise the morale of persons living with impairments, but would also serve as a showcase for their fishing capabilities in both national and international contests.

"Let me encourage the gamers to devote their time and efforts to the game so that they might earn a living. This game, if properly harnessed, will transform the players’ lives for the better,” Idris said.
In his speech, the Chairman of Kebbi State FA , Abubakar Chika-Ladan, appealed to the Governor to sustain his support for sporting activities in the state.
