Female CAN 2016:

Engineers assure PM stadiums will be ready in time

Engineers working at the Military and AmadouAhidjo Stadiums in Yaounde have confirmed to the Prime Minister Philemon Yang that the two stadiums for training and play during the African Women Championship would be ready in June.

                NdougakweEchembeng, civil engineer in charge of monitoring the work said, “technically, by the end of June the project would be ready and everything set for the November jamboree”.

“Work is progressing on a good note, the military stadium is quite advanced”, he added.

                At the Military stadium to serve as training ground, Tarabelsi Lard, Head of Mission for Louis Berger Company, said work was going on smoothly.

                While the ground stands are under construction, gravel is laid on the turf and in ten days the field would be ready to receive grass with fertilizer and other material available.

                He gave assurance that the field would be ready given that the grass takes about two months to be in a perfect state.

                The Military stadium is more advanced compared to the AmadouAhidjo stadium that requires additional work on the presidential lodge, locker rooms and a press conference hall.

                Gerard AimeDjakou stated, “grass is planted and would be trimmed in some weeks while the seats in green red and yellow are already being fitted”.

The Engineers assured the Prime Minister who was out to take the pulse of construction works in the stadia and training grounds to host the African Women Championship in November.
