I have written several times about the ‘uselessness’ of the Abuja National Stadium . Such a great facility for all-round sports lie fallow all year round, overgrown with weed and smothered in dust. Many ministers of Sports have come and gone, and most of them prefer to give the stadium a wide berth.
Recently, in the build up to the just concluded Nigeria vs Ghana match, I was driving past the stadium and wondering about these issues. Why can there not be matches and other activities there weekly or once in two weeks? Why can the sports administrators not draw up a schedule for the engagement of the stadium?’, and so on, as I went to a restaurant for lunch. At the door, I saw the security man holding tickets and trying to interest customers and being mostly ignored.
Seeing Nigerians – young street urchins – start to destroy the only standard stadium in Nigeria because we lost to Ghana broke my heart. The class issue comes up again. Can a stadium be successful being built around the well-to-do only? Should our sports ministry keep out poor folks? If not – and I think not – what should be done to keep people at bay? This newfound manner of destroying things took root during #EndSARS and I recall warning then.
