The stadium, which serves as the home ground of NPFL side Niger Tornadoes, is undergoing upgrades to ensure it meets the required standards before the commencement of the new campaign.
Niger State Governor, Umar Bago, led the NFF delegation on a tour of the facility, where ongoing renovation works were assessed as preparations intensify for the upcoming league season.
The inspection underscores the NFF's commitment to ensuring clubs play in safe and standard facilities, while supporting efforts by state governments to improve football infrastructure across the country.
Niger Tornadoes returned to the Bako Kontagora Stadium last season after previously being forced to adopt a neutral venue for their home fixtures due to the unavailability of their traditional home ground.
BrandIconImage recalls that the Ikon Allah Boys played their home matches at a neutral venue during the 2024/25 season before making their return to the Bako Kontagora Stadium in the following campaign.
The renovation is expected to be completed before the start of the 2026/27 NPFL season, providing Niger Tornadoes with a fully upgraded venue for their home matches.
