What you need to know:

• The refurbishment has been spectacular with the venue now capable of hosting any world-class event, with the Kip Keino Classic next Saturday (October 3) showcasing the celebrated stadium
• Nation Media Group’s television outlet, NTV, will relay the Kip Keino Classic live from the Nyayo National Stadium on October 3, and will also be live at Saturday’s presidential opening
• Korir said they are in touch with the Ministry of Health to have Kenyatta National Hospital and Kenya Medical Research Institute (Kemri) handle the testing of the athlete for Covid-19 ahead of the Classic

Since renovations started at the Nyayo National Stadium in 2017, several deadlines came and passed, with end-users giving up on the facility.
But a late burst of energy in the fresh administration of Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed and Principal Secretary Joe Okudo, with personal indulgence of President Uhuru Kenyatta finally got the works on course.

And on Saturday, Amina and Okudo will be rubbing their hands with glee as President Uhuru Kenyatta officially opens the spruced up stadium.


Finally, Nyayo National Stadium open for business
