Sports Commission, Kwara FA Disagree Over Pitch Maintenance Revenue

Date: 2024-06-26

According to a news report from Daily Trust, a dispute has arisen between the chairman of the Kwara Sports Commission, Bola Magaji, and the chairman of the Kwara State Football Association (FA), Alhaji Idris Abdullahi Musa (Thuraya), over the alleged embezzlement of funds generated from the use of the Ilorin Township Stadium pitch by clubs.

The disagreement has resulted in the FA withdrawing from the maintenance of the grass pitch at the main bowl of the stadium complex in Ilorin.

Thuraya has accused the Commission under Mogaji of not remitting the funds collected for the pitch's use by clubs to the appropriate authorities.

According to him, “We cannot continue to make the facility conducive for use while some people are collecting revenue on it, and not remitting part of it to support the maintenance processes.”

He added that the commission is directing people to pay into personal accounts rather than the purse of the government or that of the state internal revenue service.

But speaking on the issue, Mogaji denied receiving money through his personal account or any other account.

He said “No money was paid to my personal account but N3 million was paid to the FA's account out of which N1 million was remitted to the account of the commission, the statutory body charged with managing and overseeing the stadium.

“Before we got the money, it took us two weeks, pursuing their officers. We were stone walled and it only came after we locked the stadium,” he added.
