Third-tier league club of Nigeria’s league system, Buruj Football Club has taken a huge leap in its $1million stadium project after the recently ranked topmost Academy acquired 3 acres of land.
The sports establishment has taken a bold step in the actualization of its proposed $1 Million Stadium Project after purchasing 3 acres of land in a well-grounded environment and its home base Ogolonto Ikorodu which is said to be used in the construction of the stadium.
The $1million stadium projects will house a swimming pool, 5000 spectators capacity, changing room for two teams, Tennis Cort, Shopping Mall, Mini-Mart, Event Hall, Hostel, Athletic track, Clinic, and Learning Centre that can be used as an annex to most Tertiary Institution within and outside the country.
The Club/Academy CEO Dr. Salaudeen Waheed Buruj explains why he decided to name the stadium after the Highly personified Clergy woman Rev. Mother Esther Ajayi. He said “Mama is an outstanding individual, a lover of God with an Impeccable personality.
She is someone who loves to keep dreams alive, she has over the years supported our course spiritually and has also financially showered rains of millions fostering the academy/Football Club’s International Outings and our purposeful drive to global rejuvenation ever since our encounter in 2017 playing the role of our Life Matron.
The Arole Oduduwa Olofin Adimula Ooni Adeyeye Ogunwusi Ojaja II (Buruj FC/SA Life Patron) whom our sports outfit is proudly associated with has been playing a father role for the club beyond comparison, he was the one who handed us over to the Mother Theresa of the Universe in the United Kingdom at Shangri-La The Shard Hotel London. That was the first time we recorded a victory in our International Outing and Mama was a heaven-sent, and angel in human form as her hospitable character to all the players and officials cannot be over-emphasized.
“It has been a driven force on my mind since our establishment owing to the daily struggles and hardship faced in the football industry in Nigeria which includes lack of proper training facility, transportation which are the major fuel to the success of the business, lack of all these basic amenities raise the expenditure of the club above the normal spending limit as using all the public facilities to cost a lot of money per hour.”
“So having this stadium will serve as a relief to scattered talents within the Ikorodu axis and Lagos state including the nation at large as this will keep them busy pursuing their dreams as play and study initiative will be functional which inturns reduce crime rate and intake of hard drugs which is very rampant amongst youths of this day.”
With Almighty Allah on our side, I believe this project that we have started will yield positive returns and also contribute immensely towards the economic growth and standard of Lagos State and Nigeria as a nation.
