Try to read my post again. I said aesthetically, Abuja Stadium is nowhere near UYO stadium.

For your information, structurally, I'd rather go for Abuja than Uyo reason being that Abuja has larger spectators than Uyo and it has option of expansion from little over 60k to little over 80k compared to Uyo's 30k capacity.

The wind load in Abuja can never be compared with that of Uyo which still forms some criteria for structural analysis and design.

All facilities within the Abuja stadium are designed and engineered in compliance with the requirements of international sport associations, particularly the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) and the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF). -Wiki

are you telling us that a stadium design and built by Julius berger is of low quality ?

Op in your life ehn... Don't ever say this stadium is amongst the best in Africa again. What do you take us for Gullible abi? For top 15 stadiums in Africa, this one nor follow sef. Mtcheeeew

comos:


are you telling us that a stadium design and built by Julius berger is of low quality ?

Even God does not design things perfectly.

Look at you and your brain as an example of the imperfection in God's work.

How many stadiums have Julius Berger designed and Built? If they are so good they must have built a few
How many countries does Julius Berger operate in ? If they are so good they must operate in several countries around the world?

Tell us the biggest project Julius Berger have completed outside Nigeria


YOUR HOMEWORK

Research into Julius Berger.


A firm that operates virtually 100% in Nigeria to win contracts which are overpriced and then it brings in "experts" from outside Nigeria to do the work for them.

JB has been in Nigeria for more than 40 years and all their key engineers are white guys.

The question is who do those guys work for when they are not doing JB jobs


Reality is JB is a front company that wins contracts and then subcontracts them to third parties and Nigerians cannot see through the Charade

God Bless Godswill Akpabio

stop confusing yourself man! The fact that Abuja stadium was designed with an intended 60k human imposed load doesn't make it better than that of Uyo with 30k.

if you truly are a Structural Engineer as u presume to be, you should know that both are very safe for use. A 3 storey building with ground reinforcements of Y25 isn't any better than a 2 storey with Y20 bars as ground reinforcement structurally speaking. it's all dependent on the imposed load on the structure.
You should have said Abuja stadium is better in terms of capacity and there would have been no cause for complain. But to have said it is structurally more sound than Uyo stadium due to it's intended capacity is fallacious.

As a structural designer with many years of experience in Design/Construction i will tell you that they are both structurally sound.

God bless the PDP....

The littered this country with projects....

final year projects..we can have a far better stadium compared to the stadium at akwa ibom

Vatsyayana:
Please exercise some patience and see what LASG will do to the National Stadium in ABUJA.

LASG in ABUJA?

Good job but let's check the cost an compare

Church crusaders would soon spoil everything

MY CONCLUSION: This is the finest and best stadium so far in Nigeria, because for 3 pages of this thread no one, I mean.. NO ONE!!!....... has posted another photo to contest the fact. QED

This stadium No too fine like that

Pple like u no sopos dey 9ija....

AutoReportNG:


“The stadium is a two-tiered structure and this includes a 400m-running track for athletic events and is the pilot part of Uyo Sports Park development. It sits on 36.3 hectares of land and is enclosed by a white triangular-shaped outer covering that encircles the whole stands. According to the main contractor, Julius Berger Nig PLC, the biggest challenge was the design and structural realization of the stadium shell, which consists of prefabricated triangular acrylic glass elements with randomly arranged “eye-shaped” openings.

It is the season of World Cup and therefore AutoReportNG decided to do a reportage of some of sports edifices in Nigeria and so far the only stadium that is worthy of mention is the Akwa Ibom Stadium. The stadium is a world class 30,000 capacity stadium that is considered one of the finest stadium(s) in Africa. The inauguration was in 2014 and it was inaugurated by three heads of States – President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria, John Dramani Mahama of Ghana and President Alassane Ouattara of Cote d’Ivoire.

“The stadium is a two-tiered structure and this includes a 400m-running track for athletic events and is the pilot part of Uyo Sports Park development. It sits on 36.3 hectares of land and is enclosed by a white triangular-shaped outer covering that encircles the whole stands. According to the main contractor, Julius Berger Nig PLC, the biggest challenge was the design and structural realization of the stadium shell, which consists of prefabricated triangular acrylic glass elements with randomly arranged “eye-shaped” openings.

The rectangular steel frames bearing the point-fixed acrylic glass elements, simultaneously serve as a diagonal reinforcement of the crescent-shaped steel framework.

Construction
The stadium consists of two separate structures. One is the VIP box and the other has rounded corners and a straight back. The VIP area is a straight truss system with vertical façade, straight cantilevered beams, and rectangular façade panels. The other part of the stadium structure has curved cantilevered beams and rhomboidal façade panels.

The RSTAB model of the VIP box consists of 4,610 members and the main model of the stadium includes 12,049 members. The cantilevered roof beams are tubular trusses made of steel S 355.

The ornamental façade was produced from 15 mm thick casted plates made of white plexiglass. The point-mounted plexiglass panels near the arch beams are partially cut out and together form a large mosaic. Acoustic trapezoidal sheet metal has been used as roofing.

According to Wikipedia, the stadium is said to cost about $94million and using the exchange rate in 2014 which is 150naira then we can say this stadium is built for (14.1 Billion Naira)

These are some of the pictures of the stadium
