Overgrown and Abandoned: Toilet Blocks at MKO Abiola Sports Arena
What was once a showcase of Nigeria’s National Sports Festival now lies forgotten. Behind the MKO Abiola Sports Arena, public toilet facilities are buried under thick weeds and litter, with broken doors hanging from rusted hinges and shattered windows letting in dampness and decay. Local coaches and sports fans say little maintenance has been done since the games ended. Rodents and reptiles have made their home in the cramped stalls while plastic bottles and food waste litter the ground. Visitors worry about health risks and the safety of isolated structures overrun by bushes. Observers say this neglect highlights a wider problem: public projects spring to life only for major events, then fade into disrepair. Some residents believe a quick government response—clearing the overgrowth, repairing the blocks and scheduling regular upkeep—could restore these facilities and prevent future waste.
