The issue with that kind of project is priority and cost. Most of the critical needs of the people are abandoned for huge project without serious impact on 75% of the population. Imagine when billions are spent on airports, govt house, guest house etc while the rural areas are without Water, roads, security, functional education, poor healthcare etc. The billions spent on elite test can fix the rural areas and reduce poverty. The poverty in Nigeria is as a result of expenditures that are elite driven. 35 Likes 4 Shares |

Hafeexla: A 5000 capacity hall is bigger than a 3000 capacity hall, obviously. So that should settle the discussion. ...even though I would have preferred that money was spent on developing healthcare capacity and education... 17 Likes 1 Share |
