Governor Uba Sani has fulfilled a 30-year old promise that was made to the 1996 Atlanta Olympic gold medalists, by giving them plots of land and naming streets after three of them who are from Kaduna State.
Speaking to newsmen after inspecting the ongoing Ahmadu Bello Stadium project on Tuesday, Daniel Amokachi recalled that in 1996 when the Dream Team won the Olympics Gold Medal, federal and state governments made promises that were never redeemed.
He said Governor Uba Sani has given him, Garba Lawal and Emmanuel Babayaro plots of land 30 years after they were promised, adding that he also directed that streets should be named after those of them who were not so immortalized.
