It was revealed that preparations for the opening ceremonies on Saturday might have run into a hitch as about 1,000 school children commissioned for the callisthenics display have been abandoned in one of the barracks in Abuja without being fed and given any money, while the 35 musicians engaged for the ceremony have stopped their rehearsals on the grounds that they have not been paid by the organisers.
The school children, as of Wednesday afternoon, were unable to go for rehearsal as there was no vehicle to convey them to the Abuja National Stadium.
Apart from these, the environment of the stadium is unkempt, as grasses around premises of the stadium, purposely constructed to host the eighth All-Africa Games, in Abuja, are left uncut. Officials of the LOC were seen, on Wednesday, making frantic efforts to ensure that the grasses were cut before the opening ceremony.
“This is a serious matter. Honestly, things are in disarray here. My fear is that as things stand today, the country faces a serious disgrace. Unless something urgently is done, the opening ceremony is threatened seriously.
