The Akwa Ibom State Government has installed digital LED advertising boards at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match against Tanzania.
The upgrade is part of efforts to modernise the stadium’s facilities following criticism from football fans over its advertising infrastructure and matchday presentation.
The new digital boards are expected to improve the display of commercial messages, enhance the matchday atmosphere and strengthen the stadium’s appeal to sponsors and event organisers.
The development also marks a step towards improving the presentation of sporting events at the 30,000-capacity venue, which regularly hosts major domestic and international football fixtures.
With the Super Eagles preparing to face Tanzania in Uyo, the upgraded advertising infrastructure is expected to feature prominently during the encounter as Nigeria seeks to secure maximum points in front of its home supporters.
The installation reflects ongoing efforts to improve the stadium experience for fans, players, sponsors, and other stakeholders.
