The Minister who was visibly sad with the state of the stadium, expressed regrets at the terrible state of the stadium; saying that he wept for the edifice.
" It's unfortunate that a national edifice like the national stadium is in this bad state and this shouldn't be the symbol of our sports in a city refered to as sports city. Infact what I saw is not good for sports development of this country and I weep for the facilities ", he lamented.
The Minister said he's happy with the job  Aliko Dangote and Kessington Adebutu ( Baba Ijebu) are doing at the MKO Abiola Stadium, Abuja and the National Stadium Surulere Lagos:saying it's an evidence that the involvement of private sector is key to rehabilitation of sporting facilities and sports development.
According to him, he's happy that the process of  concession of the facilities is ongoing and should be sustained, positing that he endorsed the process.
Enoh who said that his  focus will be centered on  sports development that will involve developing facilities at the grassroots where talents abound, running leagues in other sports where the country has comparative advantage as well as being Minister of all sports pledged to offer quality leadership and commitment to his work.
