Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo has been listed as part of the five places Carlos Puyol may visit during his official visit to Nigeria.
The Spanish football legend, Puyol will be leading the UEFA Champions League Trophy Tour in Nigeria from the 16th to 18th of April, 2019.
This International Stadium is an all-seater national sports stadium located in Uyo, the state capital of Akwa Ibom. The stadium serves as a home to the Nigerian Super Eagles as well as a centre for various Nigeria’s biggest football theatre among social, cultural, and religious events.
Other places scheduled for the former Barcelona defender who will have the course to visit Lagos and Akwa Ibom states during the three days visit include but not limited to;
Eko Atlantic: Now this is a sight to behold. Eko Atlantic is an entire new coastal city being built in Lagos, Nigeria. It is a focal point for investors and is a marvel of modern engineering and technology, a true testament to the growth of Nigeria.
Olumo Rock: It is no surprise that this rock made our list. Located in Abeokuta, Olumo Rock has long served as a rock of offence and a fortress for the people of Egbaland, since the 19th century.
The characteristic height of the rock as well as an aerial and atmospheric view of the antique city of Abeokuta, from the apex of the rock, is a sight to behold. The rock also makes for some lovely aerial photos and the thought of photographing Puyol smiling atop the rock is certainly the stuff of dreams.
Lekki Conservation Centre: Now this is one of Africa’s prominent and most-diverse urban Nature Parks.
No wonder it made our list. Just imagine Puyol making the canopy walk across the park, maybe even joggling a ball while at it. Just perfect!
Nigerian Breweries Headquarters: Nigerian Breweries Plc, is the pioneer and largest brewing company in Nigeria. It serves the Nigerian market and exports to other parts of West Africa and is home to numerous brands like the world’s most international beer brand, Heineken.
So there you have it, five of the best places we will absolutely love to see Puyol visit.
