PM Terrance Drew's role in Conaree Football Stadium Project

Prime Minister Dr Drew announced the timeline of the project and noted that in 2014, when he became the candidate from the Labour Party, he voiced for the project. He proposed an idea to install fencing around the field and improve basic facilities with proper construction. 

After that, the then Labour government decided to construct the stadium and gave their approval while signing a contract with a local builder Ellison Isaac from Conaree. He constructed the fence and improved other facilities at the stadium, aiming to boost the sports sector. 

With a change in government when unity came into power, the stadium was halted and not built, as per the prime minister. He said that the team unity delivered 40-foot container to the authorities in the stadium that were used as a changing room. 

When the Labour Party again formed the government, PM Terrance Drew restarted the project and expressed delight in witnessing the project.
