Irked by the bushy state of the N54 billion Abuja National Stadium which has been overtaken by weeds and reptiles, the Minister of Sports and Chairman of the National Sports Commission, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi has demanded for explanation from his Director of Facilities, Abubakar Mogaji.

The Abuja National Stadium which hosted the 2003 All Africa Games, is Nigeria’s most modern sports arena with facilities for both indoor sports and track and field events.

Sports Vanguard gathered that the Minister was so bitter because the stadium which gulped N54 billion of tax-payers’ money to build under a decade ago could be neglected to such a level that has become a national disgrace.

“Heads might role,” our source who pleaded anonymity revealed, adding that “it could start with some suspensions and other actions that will follow.”
