The Minister of Sports, Mr Sunday Dare has disclaimed reports
of plans to cut the grass at the National Stadium, Abuja with ₦81
million.

In a statement issued by the office of the Minister, titled,
‘Beware of Fake News: Minister Actually Rejected the N81 million
bill’, Mr. Dare restated his initial interview about the Stadium
maintenance.

“When we went to  Abuja Environmental, for a one time
clearing, they gave us a bill of 81million. “If I tell Nigerians
that I have 81million  and i used  the money to clear the
National  Stadium  so that bush rats will be taken away
instead of using that money to bring back the high performance
centre, you will be the first people to attack  me. It’s
opportunity  cost, it’s  tough, the fund is just not
there. “But we have made some efforts. But if you cut it during
raining season this week, next week it grows again, if you cut next
week it still grows. “The answer  is  we get this place
so busy that people can come in and use the facilities.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); “Also when we
 have sports  as business  we would have facilities
 manager, we can have sections that people can pay certain
fees. “With the revenue that comes in,  we are going  to
start an out door open walk hall of fame, one kilometre
 stretch  with 14 sporting  legends to be put there.
We are going to  have water parks. “It’s  already
 designed, we are just waiting for private funds. That can
generate for us about  150- 200 million every year. This is
not in our hands, but in private hands. “There is a vision in that
direction. But it is noted. We can’t do one hundred maintenance
 of the grasses, but we will continue  to do our best.
 So hold your fire about looking for bush rats, we shall do
something about that.”
