The Samson Siasia Stadium, Yenagoa has been given a pass mark to host league matches by the inspection team of the Nigeria National League (NNL).
World class Sports Facility Construction firm, Monimichelle recently completed the installation of the GEO technology, which is 95 percent natural lead-free synthetic grass pitch with shock absorption system that absorbs hydrostatic pressure from athletes thereby reduces injuries.
