National Stadium, Lagos.

By Kazeem Ugbodaga

Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari has approved the release of National Stadium, Surulere to Lagos State Government for retrofitting and upgrading to host international sporting tournaments, the State Government said on Tuesday.

Speaking at the ongoing annual Ministerial Press Briefing at Bagauda Kaltho Press Centre in Alausa, Chairman of Lagos State Sports Commission, Mr Kweku Tandoh, said it was gratifying to report that after series of back and forth, action would commence next week on paperwork for the formal handover of the facility to the State Government.

Responding to a question on the delay in handover of the stadium to the State Government for upgrade from its present state of decay, Tandoh said the approval for the release was given verbally by the President during his visit to Lagos few weeks ago, while terms of the agreement would now be based not on concession but complete release to the State Government.

Giving details, Tandoh said: “You would recall that the Lagos State Government signified interest in taking over completely the National Stadium and the Governor did not just say it, he actually met with the Minister of Sports and a tour of the facility was carried out.

“One thing later developed and there were signs and signals that the Governor received that they were not actually ready to hand over the Stadium to us rather it seems as if they just wanted a concession agreement where the State Government would spend the money, get it fixed while the Federal Government would still be in place but that is not what Lagos State Government wants.

“So, during the visit of the President to Lagos State few weeks ago, the Governor at the State Dinner was able to grouch the intention again and he mentioned it in his speech to the President and the President verbally gave approval that that was going to be in place. Just yesterday, the Governor directed that I proceed to Abuja next week to deliver some communications that are necessary to put in place a formal handover of the National Stadium to Lagos State Government. We are grateful that this time they will give it to us on the terms that the Lagos State Government has requested for,” he explained.

On activities of the Commission in the last one year, Tandoh said in line with the commitment of the present administration towards provision of world class sporting facilities, approval had already been given for comprehensive renovation of Campos Mini Stadium in Lagos Island, Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere; Mobolaji Johnson Sports Centre, Rowe Park, Yaba; Isheri Football Field/Swimming Pool, and Ijede Mini Stadium, Ikorodu.

He said both the Teslim Balogun Stadium and Campos Mini Stadium would have their artificial turf replaced with natural grass, while the remaining seats of Agege Stadium would be covered in addition to the upgrade already done in preparation of the facility for Confederation of African Football (CAF) matches.

He said within the period under review, the State Government awarded contracts for transformation of Onikan Stadium to an all-covered ultra-modern international stadium with FIFA certified artificial turf and multipurpose arena for entertainment concerts with capacity to accommodate 10,000 people, while preliminary works had already commenced on the construction of Maracana Stadium in Ajegunle.

He said it was also significant to report that the State Government has concluded plans to establish three viewing centres across the State for fans to watch world cup matches free of charge.

“Just yesterday, Governor Ambode approved that we should establish three viewing centres in Mushin, Alimosho and Ajegunle. The centres will be in place for the duration of world cup and will serve as venues where people in those areas can watch world cup matches free of charge,” Tandoh said.

He said approval had also been given for the employment of full time coaches as well as contract coaches, while training

Guy, where was the voice speaking in the craaaap?

Reference:
They have started a few rail projects they are obviously not going to complete. Do you want them or not. Quit playing politics with development. The quality of politicking is to enhance governance not to destroy it. Remember it is a cycle and your preferred candidate could be at the wrong end of unfair angst some day. Ask the APC. They never knew propaganda could turn so badly.

Like what one?

discusant:
If Paris to M. Mohammed Airport Lagos costs $800, Paris to Portharcout international airport costs $1500.

Who established this wicked order in Nigeria?

What a country of double standards called Nigeria.
People of eastern states of Nigeria are in big trouble in this country called Nigeria

Says who? where did you get the pricing from?

babayinka77:
It doesn't matter who initiated the project, the fact it that there's continuity and that is very good for our nation. we should not keep abandoning projects because it was formed by previous administrations. the advantage Lagos state has over others is because of continuity...let all abandoned projects be completed and put to good use. This is a nice one and needs to be encouraged.

But bross make the guy initiate one 1st make we see.

higherpower:
Keep flaunting your ignorance.
There 5Airports are located at;

1. Abuja
2. Kano
3. PH
4. Enugu
5.Lagos

Did U say PH? are you high on cheap weed?

RZArecta2:
your head dey there though I would have given the North 5/5. Meanwhile, Amaechi's back yard has an airport that is an abandoned project

And he is the minister of transportation, He thinks he is doing us,

divinehand2003:
I even disabled the GPS too but something keeps triggering it on.

you have given some apps means to turn ur GPS on once they turn on!

Princeofnigeria:
stop lying Abeg

You have no clue have you?what is the lie in my statement??

saeedowolab:
Only you mad people didn't realised that price of crude oil fall all time low to 28dollars/barrel
Only u mad people didn't realised that lagos Ibadan railway will be completed soonest
Only you mad people didn't realised massive construction is going on on 2nd Niger bridge
Only u mad people didn't realised that headers farmers clash is there before this administration but was widely politised because buhari is a Fulani man, complicating issues
Only u mad people now intensified ur Biafra agitation because ur anointed son has been kicked out
Only u mad people will fault a sincere president for ensuring continulty by completing project initiated by previous administration even it is an opposition
Only u mad people will not c DAT our foreign reserves is beyond 47bill dollars despite low oil income
Only u mad people will not c DAT TSA and BVN policies was successfully implemented even though it was initiated by the past administration
Only u mad people will fault the anti corruption campaign of buhari , even though many corrupt leaders were exposed. Calling it witch hunt
Only u mad people will never see anything good in this administration.
Only u mad people will not c that recession Nigeria plunged into was experienced by other oil producing nations.

can I ask you something, what is the high external reserve meant to do for Nigerians?
As we speak the volume of oil export is know by none and also the value of oil export I know by none and as the same time the value of petroleum import and subsidy is known by none. Stop supporting politicians when it comes to these things.

Saviour22:
[color=darkblue] hahaha it's seems buhari need a trip back to u. K [/color]

Nah we don't want him here, keep him, He is bad luck, he can go to the US, we pass him over to them

divinehand2003:
True talk.
That location thing on my mobile phone gives me headaches too. It zaps data and battery. Funny enough when I disable it, it automatically comes on again.

your GPS must be on hence it comes back on!turn GPS off

Northmall:
Disable your Location too

yep another thing that zaps battery .cos ur GPS would be on!

wink2015:
Nigeria should invest in the Power sectors, Agriculture, Solid Minerals and Information Technology.

The federal government should not get carried away by the sudden rise in the price of crude oil.

The price will soon drop and we are back to square one.

DIVERSIFICATION OF NIGERIA ECONOMY IS A TASK THAT MUST BE ACHIEVED.

NIGERIA MUST BE POLITICALLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESTRUCTURED TO MAKE STATES IN NIGERIA DEVELOP THEIR OWN INTERNALLY GENERATED REVENUE.

Waiting for stipend in the name of federal allocation must be put to a stop.

Most of our northern states have vast uncultivated land, but they shun hardwork and choose to lazy out waiting for stipend from Abuja.

THE RISE IN THE PRICE OF CRUDE OIL IS NOT A CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION IN NIGERIA BUT A WAKE UP CALL FOR NIGERIA LEADERSHIP TO CONTINUE TO DIVERSIFY THE ECONOMY.

loads of states will never agree to t his. even with federal Help they cant survive. Only states like Lagos,Delta,Bayels,RIvers and Kaduna can generate their own revenue.The rest no hope!

nero2face:
Good news

Good news for politicians Only, it wont have any effect on the man on the street!

ajahahah, I laugh, someone just made a huge sum from this contract of providing this tech to the Bank. Where are the shops who offer this system of payments in 9ja~?we are not even 10%compliant on chip and pin cashless payments in Nigeria now this?

the worse thing to turn off in ur smart phone is auto upgrade. That zaps ur credit.

jabor4Naija:
What is d hate speech there now ehn? Cos i said dey should be charged to court for a crime dey committed

gidgiddy:
On Friday, Jewish worshippers, the religious faith IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu belongs to, came to his father's palace to worship. After an all night vigil lasting into the early hours of this morning, the group sent out a delegation to buy food for them. Trouble started when the delegation sent out to buy food returned half naked and reported that they were accosted at a Police checkpoint where they stripped and one of them arrested for no just cause.

Four of the leaders of the group decided to go and find out what was happening and why they were treated this way.

Word got back to the group that the 4 leaders were arrested and taken to the Police station.

The group then decided to go to the Police station to protest and they were met by armed police who shot at them, teargassed them and their children and beat them up.

Members of the congregation displayed their injuries to reporters asking why they were treated this way when all they did was converge at their members house, Nnamdi Kanu, to worship.

I tot the religion WAS Judaism!

[quote author=Meloshi post=67539702][/quote]No need masturbating over this statement, there is an answer, NONE OF THEM!

jabor4Naija:
They should also be arrested and charged to court na.
Wait o,.........did he just say a drivers license is 6500

my friend dat nah Hate speech!

Abeg make una tell us another story, who is CBN, who are the banks??

seunlayi:
have you Forgotten how Jonathan govt placed a mass order for prepared meter to Fulfil govt move towards privatization {many already got theirs for free} which was later canceled by Fashola.... He later presented another bill before the NA for same purpose when the dollar was high. Since then, they started holding the meters

I remember quite well.He has vested interest in this.one day the truth would come out.

authority2006:
And what federal government, DISCOS AND GENCOS don't understand is that non availability of prepaid meters is also the reason why many people are wasting energy. If every household connected to the power grid has prepaid meter, the rate at which people are wasting will be drastically reduced and power supply will be available for longer hours.

This is very true.one yard near my dad has an outside light directly wired . No switch . Nah this light the area dey take know en Nepa bring light.

futurism:
Good.... you just answered what I had asked above. So the none availability is politics.

I had a reason for asking. Thanks.

Ofcos it's pure politics.if we all have PYG meters ni one will tell PHCN to fix up. U won't even need to report faults . Look at the telecoms coy . Do you need to report faults if one if thier signal beamers gi down ? No
They woukd be forced to invest .

Saintmary:
Sense should fall on guys, don't date if you're not ready to spend. There's a possibility that guys who think like this are going to register their wives for antenatal in substandard hospitals, endangering their lives because they don't want to spend their hard earned money. Anyway, you get what you seek.

I rather upgrade my wife to be able to take care of things like you mentioned rather wait for me.You see that mindset belong to them pro house wives, times are changing.women are getting good jobs and Biz, be amongst that mindset!

[quote author=Saintmary post=67458368]The fact that a majority of people support a notion does not mean it's right. Taking a stranger out on a date is wrong, because anything can happen. At least get to know the person, before spending your money![/quote
was that not meant to be taking care of dating instead some people turned it into a meal fest!

In all the manuals of everycar, there is no where the manufacturer recommends injector service every ?? Miles. The car owner does that when the cylinders are misbehaving, when the fuel consumption is excessive, when the car is sluggish, and then when you find thick carbon in your car's exhaust, you dont neen a car manufacturer to tell you that to enjoy the car, the engine must breathe fresh air. Their carbon cleaning machine works better than mine because we tried the carbon cleaning in France and the maintenance cost is zero by attaching it to the battery instead of electricity. In all, carbon cleaning your vehicle is wonderful. It is ideal for all cars and diesel cars are the best cars to heave a sign of relief because of the dirty diesels that powers them. It wont ruin the airflow meter, infact it will save the airflow meter be[b]cause 70% of our car owners dont [/b]change their air filters, they just dust it and put it back even when it is very dirty and cracked.

There is nothing like injector service ever. Only exist on YouTube
where you got the statitics of people not changing their Air filter I don't know.

Bro the only thing that is allowed inside a working ICE is fuel/air mixture, nothing else xcept additives inside the petrol/Diesel that when burnt would produce no harmful gas to the Cat converter or environment!
I know U r trying to promote a biz but the internet has since moved on!

Kitime:
Fuel detergents are typically designed to remove resin and gum that form in the fuel tanks and along the fuel line up to the combustion chamber. Some claim to remove carbon deposits from the engine. Some of these detergents which are chemicals/solvents themselves may create other types of deposits in the engine. Nevertheless, it does not perform exactly the same function as our carbon cleaning service.

Our carbon cleaning technology uses hydrogen/HHO gas piped through the air intake/filter into the combustion chamber. Hydrogen gas has a higher burn rate than petrol, that means the explosion force fills the combustion chamber 3 times faster than petrol. It also burns at a higher temperature. What this does is burn off carbon deposits more efficiently throughout the engine system thereby removing carbon deposits that have been left lying in the engine system. The procedure can be done in 30 minutes. With the detergent, it is poured into the fuel tank and works over a longer period of time and does not target carbon build-up like hydrogen gas does.

What you are saying is what architects of this Tec claim, however there is nowhere in the vehicle manufacturing market where this products or services are lined up as part of maintenance procedures so to this end I would say its totally unnecessary and waste of money, Until my car manufacturers deem it fit to be INCLUDED as part of maintenance schedule!

OP got more than what he requested for...
