In September 2012, a popular photo journalist, Femi Ipaye visited the National Stadium in Abuja and photo-documented the degeneration of the structures built by former President Olusegun Obasanjo for $300 million. The stadium main arena and facilities had become decrepit and decayed because they had not been maintained.
 
A few months later, Mr. Ipaye returns to the stadium to document the current state of the pricey sports arena, Nigeria's biggest and most expensive. Again, he finds the stadium still abandoned but apparently undergoing some renovation and rehabilitation allegedly by construction giant Julius Berger. However, the cost of rehabilitation remains a mystery. Still the arena remains in a state of disrepair and dysfunction.

This is truly sad. However, the govt has been carrying out some renovation works at the stadium. The renovation is expected to be completed by next month (I think, not too sure).

I'm shocked speechless. Why can't we imbibe the maintenance habit in this country

sometimes i'm forced to admit that, Nigeria is one big Jungle!

And they supposedly spent US $350 Million on this? Not even the best in Africa.

Theese people just dey chop our money finish.
