Sunday Dare, the Minister of Youth and Sports Development, has said that the renovation of the National Stadium, Lagos would require 21 billion naira to complete.
He revealed this via his Twitter page while he giving an update on the work which is currently on going at the venue.
“This is what we met and we started work on the main bowl. Our target was to fix three of the 15 critical aspects of the Surulere stadium. The pitch, scoreboard and tartan tracks. We faced delays but we never stopped. 80 per cent of these three works have been completed”,
“What is needed to fix the National Stadium Surulere after 17 plus years of neglect is in excess of 21 billion naira, about 45 million dollars, of which we have just about 500m naira from private and government funding. There is a limit to what can be fixed.”
