Shehu Sani, a former Nigerian lawmaker and social critic, has stated that the proposed N21 billion for the renovation of National Stadium Surulere in Lagos is unjustified
Sani stated this via a post on his verified Twitter handle on Monday.
He noted that 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 for renovation.

But please that proposal of using N21 billion to renovate that Stadium should not be justified because of this.”
In another development, a 5-story building on Sunday collapsed at Ladipo Oluwole Street, GRA, in the Apapa area of Lagos State.
The incident is coming barely 24 hours after Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu ordered the demolition of some buildings in Banana Island over defective structures and an unapproved plan.
The latest building is said to have caved in following a thunderstrike during an early morning downpour.
