Some ministers will just foolishly write billions of naira budget and expect the money to be given to them like that, and then divert 80% for themselves. Bunch of nonentities

see budget buhari wanted NASS to rubber stamp before jan 2018.....

Nothing to worry about, we're confident the money will be well 'spended'

see budget buhari wanted NASS to rubber stamp before jan 2018.....

The sports minister told the committee that he had approached the presidency for approval of three billion naira (N3billion) for a Presidential Task Force to manage the fund in the execution of the Russia 2018 World Cup, which was not contained in the budget proposal.

the 3bn is not even in the budget proposal the dullard presented to the NASS. they want to use world cup as an excuse to loot..... Ndi Oshi

At the end they won't perform

How is this related to your comment that implies the minister should be from the south because that's where most of if not all the footballers are from?...and while at it.....don't you think the coach too should be from the south?

That is Buhari minister for you..

Sports Minister, Solomon Dalung and Chairman House of Representatives Committee on Sports, Honorable Goni Bukar Lawan, yesterday failed to agree on Super Eagles’ method of approach to the forthcoming FIFA World Cup in Russia. The ministry had a botched budget defence at the National Assembly yesterday.

While Dalung declared that Eagles campaign in Russia would be a matter of ‘do or die affair,’ Lawan disagreed vehemently saying: “It is not going to be a war situation for the Eagles in Russia.

Lawan, however, added that he expects the Super Eagles to work hard to do well at the mundial.


Speaking earlier, Dalung, though appreciated the Super Eagles’ qualification for the World Cup in Russia, but declared: “Our Super Eagles is not going to Russia as a mere participating team. Our participation this time, would be a matter of do or die affair. We have talented and determined players in the team that are ready to give their best to ensure we return to Nigeria with the trophy.”

Dalung stated that the players would be paid their allowance upfront as a way of encouraging them to go all out to conquer the world in Russia. “The payment of their upfront allowance would commence in March, and we are working towards realising that arrangement.”

The sports minister told the committee that he had approached the presidency for approval of three billion naira (N3billion) for a Presidential Task Force to manage the fund in the execution of the Russia 2018 World Cup, which was not contained in the budget proposal.

But Lawan upheld the motion to put on hold the defence of ministry’s tersely prepared budget proposal until the needful details are provided. He said that giving a ‘do or die’ directive to the players would not be in the best interest of the game. “We are not send the players on a war zone.

Honorable Etu Mbura noted that the 2018 budget proposal did not contain key issues expected, including the Super Eagles’ preparation and participation in the World Cup, maintenance of Abuja National Stadium and other stadia across the country as well as the National Sports Federations participation in local and international championships. He moved a motion for the ministry’s budget defence be stepped down until Dalung and his lieutenants were able to put their acts together to present a budget proposal that would be of national interest.

The Deputy Chairman of the Committee, Honorable Awaji-Inombek Abiante, seconded the motion, and Dalung and his lieutenants were asked to go back to prepare the 2018 budget proposal that would meet the yearning of the sports sector.

Latin has something to say to minister Dalung

And this is the type of person Buhari saw fit to be made a minister. #BunchOfFailures

d money spend was properly spended

"3B" for what? the most annoying part, not that they will even win the trophy , whats the need for spending on something that will not yield reasonable result. if 3b is for them , Germany will be 2tr. see genesis of failure and greed.

What a bogous budget! I hope they're coming home with the trophy.
