Minister of Youth & Sports Development Sunday Dare has restated the commitment of the Federal Government to restore life back to the Surulere National Stadium in Lagos.
Recall that same was done with the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja.
Dare said yesterday that President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration is committed to bringing back the lost glory of the sports arena, adding the ongoing rehabilitation was part of his Public-Private Partnership model on infrastructures across the country.
The Adopt-a-Sports-facility initiative under the model brought back the National Stadium in Abuja which has been fully revived after 11 years of neglect.
Dare said: “Lagos National Stadium is a place many of our football legends made us proud in the past and it is sad that over 19 years, it has been abandoned.
