Stop being a dunce.

It all depends on the arrangements made for the maintenance. In many projects today, particularly those constructed via PPP (Public-Private Partnership), contracts are awarded to private sector firms to maintain the facilities, and it works. Numerous examples abound from airports to railway facilities.

When you check some comments above, they said children of hate will soon come . Did you think it's just a slang or joke ? There are people that their lives has been wired to hate every good things especially about Nigeria.

Country that can’t maintain its infrastructure, shameless lot

Did you visit that stadium before this renovation revamp began? It was in a sorry state. Hard as it might be to accept, we have very poor maintenance culture

Do you have an idea how many stadiums we have in Nigeria?

You pick one out of the many stadiums and use that one to smear everything else?

Why are the other stadiums being posted here not ''in a sorry state''?

Some of them are older than the Abuja stadium.

Why have they not fallen into disrepair?

Why did we forget to have ''poor maintenance culture'' with them?

The North got Abuja, The South West got Lagos. If any breakup we know where would develop more faster and where wont.

Lol. Guy! Don’t even start. Go to Civil Service Commission and enter their toilet. Let me not add Calabar stadium and Lagos (until recently). It’s visible to the blind that government is a bad manager (especially FG).

It's quite good to use Platinum TE Paspalum turf with VAR technology in the stadium and we need to take our maintenance culture seriously.

. We really need to.

So why are all the stadiums we are posting here not in a sorry state since we have ''no maintenance culture''?

You also need to get it into your skull that 'maintenance' is not about being 'Nigerian' or 'not Nigerian'.

It is all about how a contract to build is arranged.

In the old days when projects were built and financed solely by the govt, there were problems with maintenance. Example, National Theatre, Lagos.

Nowadays, majority of projects are built with combined public and private sector funding, and they always include maintenance clauses written into them, unlike the former. So when you go those places, there is nothing like ''poor maintenance'' as the facilities are always up to scratch.

So quit the stereotyping.

It took dangote to revive our national stadium

seems you are not even in Nigeria sef, do you know how many times renovation works has been done on this same stadium. There's a big politics going on with this particular stadium here, very big one by successive govts. I would have loved if the renovation was done in the whole stadium and not just on the football pitch and stands only, then the contractor said they will be maintaining the pitch for two years, I hope they renew the contract after that two years, else, the stadium will just go back to the usual pathetic state.

Who should it have taken?

Stop your government dependency syndrome!

The private sector has just as much responsibility as the govt to develop the country.

Since dangote renovated it. It should be sold to him for a symbolic ₦1.
Let him run and maintain the place because I bet you once this facility is handed back to our bloody civil servants, I give the place 3 months max. It will return to junk yard status.

Did you even read what I typed before responding? Use your head and understand. The Abuja stadium was originally fully govt funded.

That is why it has had maintenance issues.

We KNOW that govt-funded facilities are vulnerable to poor maintenance, and it is not even a uniquely Nigerian phenomenon.

The UK rail network was notoriously unreliable with frequent breakdowns and antiquated facilities, till the UK govt opened the network to private operators. Now it's a different story.

The whole drive for privatisation of industry worldwide is predicated on the fact that govts are inefficient at managing facilities and infrastructure, and that it is best to include the private sector in infrastructure projects going forward.

The profit motive of the private sector ensures that whatever project is being funded WILL be maintained at all costs.

Dangote is a true Nigerian. He employed more than 100,000 Nigerians be it ibo Yoruba or Hausa

Lol. Those maintenance clauses are now being added because government sucks at maintenance (even FERMA is being scrapped). Since we’re both rigid on our stance on this, let’s let both move on.


Anyways, thanks to the private sector for always coming through when government fails

Nice one.


I just hope they will be able to maintain it. Maintenance is a major problem in Nigeria.

Maintenance clauses are ALWAYS added to infrastructure projects in which the private sector is involved, anywhere in the world.

They are added to protect the shareholders' investment, and not because ''the govt sucks at maintenance'', or whatever insolence you typed.

wahala, dem dey talk go left, dis one dey talk go right.

Going by your first paragraph. has anything changed now? Is the stadium still not fully funded and owned by the govt? In case you don't know, dangote only helped in the renovation based on appeal by the minister of sports.

And you didn't read the part were the contractor said they will carry out maintenance of the project for two years, so what happens after that two years?

Yeah, but your saying people ''suck'' is not impertinence. Look in the mirror.

Use your head. We cannot undo what's been done. The govt built and fully funded the stadium nearly 2 decades ago, back when it was the vogue for govt to build everything. So the only way the stadium can be maintained is by periodically renewing the maintenance contracts with private sector firms.

If that stadium were to be built today, it would be a PPP project, in which maintenance is written into the contract itself before anything is signed.

So if you go to any facility in Nigeria today that was built with such PPP-like arrangements, you will find the facility well maintained.

So simply saying ''Nigeria has no maintenance culture'' is loudly stating your ignorance of how projects work, and where we are today in terms of how projects are arranged and financed.
