President Irfaan Ali yesterday launched the construction of a $3.7 billion stadium and multipurpose facility at Palmyra, Region Six, with funds from ExxonMobil’s Greater Guyana Initiative (GGI), stating that there will be no excuses for not delivering the project on time. It is scheduled to be completed by 2025.
Delivering remarks at the location in front of thousands of Berbicians, who had braved heavy rainfall to be there, Ali said it was a historic day for Berbice and the entire country, as the sod was being turned for transformation and to build an inspiration of hope for generations to come “and we do so with our partners.”
According to the President, the stadium is an important part of an initiative, “to bring a world-class cricketing product that will be competitive to any you see on television… This vision is clear, nothing is going to stop us…
