I can't understand how N3billion budgeted for RIO Olympics was misused - Sports Minister Dalung says

After many Nigerians called for his sack following the massive failure recorded by team Nigeria at the Olympics due to financial constraints, the Sports Minister had this to say:

“I am aware that up to N3bn was approved for the High-Performance Centre long before we came but it is a mystery how that money was used. I just couldn’t understand how such a thing could happen,” Dalung toldPunch in an interview.

The money not just to equip the centre but was also meant to cover the salaries of the experts we brought in work with the athletes but they found a way to spend the money. They wiped everything such that we are now paying the experts from our overheard cost rather than the money actually meant for that. It is as bad as that, I mean what we met on ground. So you can see how long this problem started.”
