THE WILDEY GYMNASIUM seems close to completion.

But the major National Stadium project is yet to get off the ground as Government still has not found funding to build a state-of-the-art $150 million venue.

Minister of Sports Stephen Lashley made the revelation on Wednesday during a meeting with sporting federations at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre.

“Each time I speak to the question of when the stadium will start I always say that we have to get the funding first. We have not yet secured the funding. The Ministry of Finance is still looking for sources of funding,” Lashley said.
