Reform Sports West African, the construction company handling parts of the rehabilitation work at the Dan Anyiam Stadium Owerri, especially the turf has continued to attract kudos for a job well done.
The latest commendation came last weekend during the Match Day 2 of one of the 2020/21 NPFL games between Heartland FC and Nasarawa United at the Dan Anyiam Stadium Owerri, were match officials of the encounter (first League at the venue after 3 seasons) commended the good job of the construction company for producing a kept lush green turf which they described as enticing for a football game.
Recall that the administration of Rt Hon Emeka Ihedioha awarded the rehabilitation work at Heartland FC ancestral home and was retained by the “Shared Prosperity” government of Sen Hope Uzodinma promising that Heartland FC will play their 2021/21 NPFL season in the arena.
Although some part of the rehabilitation work is still ongoing but Reform Sports West Africa were lauded not just by the match officials but the away team’s Chairman, Barr Danladi who expressed delight that the nation still has such green lush turf that can equally host Super Eagles match.
