The speaker of the assembly, Rt. Hon. Aminu Iya Abbas, made the pledge when he received the chairman and the management staff of the football club on courtesy visit.

He said that the completion of the stadium will go along way in developing not only football but other sporting activities as well as enhance internally generated revenue for the management and the state.

Alhaji Gaude, disclosed that the club is made up of Adamawa united, Adamawa queens and the feeder team, saying that currently, a player  has been selected for international competition at Paris in France, while 1 other has been nominated for screening at the national level.

He explained that the club is confronted with the challenges including logistics, water supply at the queens camp and lack of a befitting accommodation.

He said that the teams used to play their home matches in Gombe state, but that on assumption of office, they had renovated Atiku Abubakar Stadium in Fofure LGA and that they are now using it.

He pleaded with the assembly to lobby towards ensuring that the promises made to them by executive are fulfilled in the interest of sporting activities in the state, and promised to continue to strive towards taking the club to the greater height.
