N21 Billion Needed To Fix National Stadium In Lagos – Sports Minister
Meanwhile, the Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare has revealed that his ministry needs nothing less than 21 billion naira to fix the National Stadium in Surulere, Lagos.
In a series of tweets on Friday, Sunday Dare revealed that the National Stadium in Surulere has been completely abandoned for over 17 years before his administration came into power in 2019.
According to the minister, it was when he became the sports minister that his administration started working to bring the stadium back to life starting with the pitch, scoreboard, and tracks.
Dare however lamented that his administration does not have access to the kind of funds needed to completely fix the stadium. He noted that the sports ministry has just 500 million naira of the 21 billion naira needed for the total renovation of the site.
