Rather, it is you that lacks idea and courage, have u been to that stadium of recent? If anything is not useful to you in life, dispose it to serve mankind, stop being uncivilized in actions and utterances.

that guy you quoted is a known bigot. he prefers if the facility is wasting away than for Lagos state government to make good use of it. anything progress that doesn't involve his people irritates him badly

... Don't we supposed to seek for National Assembly approval for all these free 'political gifts'?

Another village champion

The truth is it is just the land that is useful everything else there is rubbish so in all honesty the FG is handing back land which was acquiired by military fiat without paying


It will cost a lot of money to remove the rubbish lying on the land before startng reconstruction

Ooshay pay your tax and face your work

Mutemenot:
Not bad
. I believe Lagos state can manage it well

When they have not managed Teslim balogun stadium that belongs to the State?

Good move! Lagos has always wanted to renovate the stadium.

this is nonsense...our national asset cannot be used as a medium to please the south west to vote for a foolish president .i urge all states hosting federal govt stadia to immediately seek it's handover to them lest the FG shld explain the rational for handing over just to Lagos nd holding onto the others

Next to follow is National Theatre

Funny thing is that as the entire world makes progress, you'll still be here thinking backwards. Wake up!!! This was long overdue.......

You people can't just seem to hide your envy..mehn misery is real go meet your useless elders in the east and tell them to do the same rather than cry over a done deal so now its our national asset but i thought you people are biafuros

Igbos can also bid for the release of federal infrastructure in their region, like the interchange at Upper iweka. No one is stopping you. Lagos has two other standard stadiums and lesser ones built by the state government so this is not a big deal. The state government was not happy with the neglected state of the statement that was why it bidded to take it over.

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

Don't allow hatred to becloud your sense of reasoning. If there is any FG property in your state, that's lying valueless and useless. Kindly write your Gov so they also write the FG. So your state can begin to make use of such properties. As it stands , The stadium in question has been long abandoned over 15 yrs now. No one is making use of it as most of the facilities there are in deplorable condition. The stadium had long been overtaken by hoodlums who come to smoke and use the place for all social vises. Perhaps you might not know where the stadium is located. If the place is put back in shape, definitely it's going to be for the usage of all Nigerians irrespective of tribe and religious.

Lagos state don collect everything from the FG...


Den say Yoruba people no contribute anything to APC to win the last election, but na Yoruba people dey benefit, even more than the North/SS and SE combined.

There's nothing like Yoruba Politics of strategy and gamesmanship.

God Bless Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his smarts and abundant wisdom

Ambode is working ,kudos to Mr President's magnanimity ..this is purely Governmental synergy. Dividend of belonging to the Govt at the centre .

Children of hate. Should the stadium continue to suffer over 16yrs now without any attention from the F.G? When the stadium is back in shape will it not for the generality of Nigerians?

I will not desend so low like you. Are you after the cost of the Stadium or you are after the fact it was given to Lagos for proper utilisation?

Maybe in one of those uncompleted buildings in lagos
