“I am very happy with the ongoing transformation at the Onikan stadium, already, the Agege Stadium is now top notch, for me Gov. Ambode has made sure that Lagos state is the number one sports hub in Africa not only in Nigeria, in the area of infrastructure,” the reigning African footballer of the year further noted.

Oshoala who hails from Lagos said she is equally happy with the massive construction works ongoing in Abule Egba, Ojodu Berger, Lekki, Ajah and different locations across the state.
