The Gulu archdiocese has offered land to the Agago District Local Government for the construction of a stadium in memory of Gen. Paul Lokech, the late Inspector General of Police. The stadium will be constructed at Ajali Anyena Primary School, a Catholic founded school in Agago Town Council, Agago district.
Baptist Olanya, the Chairperson Ajali Anyena School Management Committee, says plans to develop eight acres of vacant land at the school was conceived during a meeting with parents in 2017.
Olanya reveals that although the initial plan was to construct a Girls’ Secondary School, a Church or a stadium, in 2018 they prioritized the construction of a stadium. However, the district physical planner told them that the eight acres were not enough for a stadium and they requested for more land from Gulu archdiocese, which later donated eight more acres.
He says they realized that building a stadium would help raise revenue to build other infrastructure such as a changing room and dormitory for girls at Anyena primary School, a hall and teachers’ accommodation.
