N21b for renovating Lagos stadium unjustified – Shehu Sani

Former Nigerian lawmaker and social critic, Shehu Sani, has claimed that the proposed N21 billion for the renovation of National Stadium Surulere, Lagos, is not justified on any ground.

His statement is contained in a post via his verified Twitter handle on Monday.

Sani said although he is aware that the stadium’s floodlight had collapsed as a result of the “rain”, it still does not justify the proposed amount.

He wrote, “I understand that the National Stadium Surulere floodlight collapsed as a result of the ’Rain’.
But please that proposal of using N21 billion to renovate that Stadium should not be justified because of this.”
