Alumni and students alike voiced their frustration, pointing out that the stadium had been earmarked for refurbishment in the past. It was revealed that the stadium was scheduled for refurbishment in the past, but successive Vice Chancellors allegedly neglected the project.
One alumna, who was a student during the initial project award, blamed the mismanagement of funds on Okoro Bartholomew, the then Vice Chancellor of the Institution. ,” I was in 300L during the period this project was awarded. Okoro Bartholomew was in charge of the project and he mismanaged the project. To our greatest surprise, the punishment he got for mismanaging the project was the office of the Vice Councilor of University of Nigeria Nsukka”, he explained.

"Someone was in charge of this project during NUGA games in 2008, this project forced UNN to close down school to enable them carry out the construction, yet look at the state. We are our own greatest undoings.”, another expessed.
Critics further pointed fingers at past Vice Chancellors of UNN, accusing them of neglecting infrastructural development during their tenures. "UNN's past VCs don't prioritize infrastructure because they view themselves as temporary occupants who will depart after five years,"
