There is now a departure from the previous neglect and lack of political will to fix the abandoned National Stadium all over the country, the Minister of Youths and Sports, Sunday Dare, said on Saturday, noting that the facilities would now enjoy political will.
Dare said that the ministry’s agenda for sports development in Nigeria would be in three key areas which includes, facilities maintenance, upgrade and management. “For us in the Youth Ministry, we will focus, on three major things which includes, facility maintenance, upgrade and management.“What I have seen here is because we have not done 100 per cent management and upgrade of the stadium over the years,” he said.
“There is political will on the part of the president this time to make sure that national monuments like this are not neglected. Dare disclosed that a Public Private Partnership to bring back the stadium would not be jettisoned, adding that holistic assessment would be given to the facilities.
