While the minister refused to reveal the actual administration that made such humongous repair on the National Theatre, he lamented on the poor and decaying state of the national edifice, which was famous for promotion of the Nigerian art and culture.
Furthermore, the former All Progressive Congress scribe said though he could not say for sure if the money was actually spent on the leaky roof or on any part of the edifice, the Muhammadu Buhari led administration has plans to transform the National Theatre.
Mohammed also disclosed that the Federal Government was planning to initiate a Public-Private Partnership that would help revive the theatre before the end of the administration.
