This decision was confirmed by Lobi Stars’ chairman, Phillip Nongu, following his assessment of the stadium’s facilities.
The Makurdi-based team will share the venue with Nigeria National League side Wikki Tourists, as their original ground, the Aper Stadium in Makurdi, is currently undergoing renovations. Note that Lobi Stars began the first half of the season playing at the Lafia City Stadium.
They are set to host Enyimba at their new ground on Sunday in a week 22 fixture.
