Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode will be visiting Russia for the 2018 World Cup with the official Nigerian delegation.
Ambode shared the news on his Instagram, posting a photo of himself with the Sports Minister Solomon Dalung, writing:
I am honoured to have been nominated by President Buhari to join the Federal Government delegation to support the Nigerian Super Eagles at the World Cup in Russia.
Delegation for what exactly? I don’t get the decision making skills in this country. How exactly is spending money flying a delegation, whose use I am still trying to understand, benefit at least the development of sports in Nigeria? Someone please educate me because I am completely lost. All that comes to mind for me is the estacode they seem to want to take advantage of. I am pretty sure Ambode will have his mini delegation to escort him as well. Tax payers to foot the bill.
