We need N81 Million to cut grass in Abuja Stadium – Sports Minister, Sunday Dare
The Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare has revealed that it will cost the ministry N81m to cut the grass and clear the weed that has taken over the MKO Abiola National Stadium in Abuja.
He stated this recently while speaking during the one-day seminar organised by the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) FCT chapter.
According to him, the ministry approached the Abuja Environmental Protection Board (AEPB) seeking what could be done to weed the stadium and they were told it will cost N81m.
“We approached AEPB to come see what can be done to clear the grass and weed in the stadium and they told us it will cost us N81m.
“If we tell Nigerians we used N81m which is not even available, there will be an outcry. The funds are not really there for us and that is why we are partnering with private investors to bring back the key components of our infrastructures,” he said.
Thief of the highest order…..
Well done, 81m that can sustain a smaller African country for about 3 months to be engaged just for grass cutting in Nigeria. Truly the economy is in recession.
What a country called Nigeria, 81 million naira to cut just ordinary grass or you want to cut another things together.
It’s only God that will save us from all these corrupt elements that we call leaders. When you are not cutting the grass of whole abuja.
Aha! 81milion Naira just to cut grass. This is kind of money to invest into Nigeria league.
They don’t care about whatever happens, they said there is recession and they are want to 81 million naira to cut grass without care wether eat or not.
