Mr Mark Ayorinde, the site engineer of Deux Projects Ltd, the company handling the renovation, disclosed this newsmen in Lagos on Wednesday.
``Rehabilitation work at the stadium will be completed in four days, timed in readiness for the festival, scheduled to hold in Lagos from Nov. 27 to Dec. 9.
``We are working assiduously to meet the Monday deadline, although we are not under any obligation to that effect,” Ayorinde said.
He said that the company's workers would be on site during the Eid-el-Kabir holidays in order to meet the four-day delivery target.
``This will ensure the completion of the work before the state government's deadline of October ending,” he said.
The engineer said that the laying of the synthetic turf on the football pitch, which, according to him, was the most integral aspect of the job, had been completed.
He added that the drainage system at the stadium had also been completed.
Ayorinde said that the four-day holiday would be used to mark the tartan tracks at the stadium.
According to him, the wetness of the pitch in the last three days had hindered the company from marking the tracks.
The rehabilitation of the main bowl of the stadium which began on July 3 was temporarily stalled last month by shortage of materials, which led to a protest by the company's workers.
