The Federal Government plans to concession to private companies the MKO Abiola National Stadium in Abuja and three other stadiums across the country for 100 million Naira, according to the 2021 budget.
The other stadiums for concession are the National Stadium in Surulere, Lagos; the Jos International Stadium and Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt.
The MKO Abiola Stadium and the National Stadium in Lagos have suffered from lack of maintenance for many years, which in turn has forced the Super Eagles and the country’s other national teams to play their home games in other stadiums.
In the meantime, Africa’s richest man Aliko Dangote has donated $1 million for the regrassing of the pitch at the mainbowl of the MKO Abiola National Stadium Abuja.
