The Minister of Sports Development, Senator John Owan Enoh, was taken aback on Wednesday with the rot and decay at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, Abuja during his official inspection to assess the state of facilities at the once glorious edifice.
The minister, alongside the ministry’s permanent secretary, Alhaji Ismaila Abubakar were led by Director of Facilities and Stadium Management at the Federal Ministry of Sports Development, Engr. Alanamu Abolore, as he inspected all packages of the stadium.
The director of facilities and stadium management, Engr. Alanamu Abolore who led the minister on the tour was categorical when he stunned the minister that the “MKO National Stadium may no longer host international matches due to her outdated and dilapidated facility. He pinpointed out that the flood light is outdated and may not function optimally during Grade A matches.
