The Enugu State Government has formally taken over the management of the  Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium Enugu from the federal government yesterday.
A release signed by Chukwudi Achife,  Chief  Press Secretary to Governor Sullivan Chime said the hand over  ceremony took place at the Stadium premises along Ogui Road,  Enugu.
The Director General of the National Sports Commission  Gbenga Elegbeleye,  performed the ceremony on behalf of the  federal Government while Governor Chime  received the keys and other documents to the stadium on behalf of the Enugu State Government.
It would be recalled that President Goodluck Jonathan had in July, this  year approved  an application by Governor Chime to the hand over of the  stadium to the Enugu State Government.
The Governor had cited as  on his reasons for the application the need to enhance development of  sports from the grassroot level and to discover young talents in their  very early ages.
This had come on the heels of the the Governor’s successful revival of among other things, the secondary School Sports  festival after more than twenty years in abeyance.
