Lalong said work on the stadium was delayed because of the COVID-19 Pandemic in 2019 as well as other economic challenges facing the state and country in general.

“The new contractor has come to buy-off the debt and complete the Jos stadium, I am hoping in the next few weeks, we will be able to complete negotiations and take over the completion of the stadium”. He said.
