GOVERNOR WIKE AND ABANDONED PROJECTS

A terrible phenomenon in the Nigerian environment is the practice of successive administrations abandoning virtually all ongoing projects and programs of the previous administration. This is usually done irrespective of how laudable or people oriented the projects are. These projects are seen as legacies of the previous administration with each administration aiming to have its own.

This practice has been institutionalized in the Nigerian system and has served as a major clog in the wheel of the nation’s progress. Critical infrastructure and developmental projects like rail networks, power generation and distribution networks hold the key to Nigeria’s future as they are meant to serve as catalysts to our national development. Unfortunately, projects of this nature have completion cycles that exceed the life span of one administration. This immediately puts us in a position where we cannot complete any long term project as the next administration is bound to abandon it.

Present day Nigeria cannot even imagine embarking on a 10 year project as we all know that the project would definitely be abandoned.

It is estimated by the Chartered Institute of Project Programme and Project Portfolio Management of Nigeria (CIPPPMN) that the value of abandoned projects in Nigeria is over 12 trillion Naira.
This figure is 270 % of the national Budget for the 2015 fiscal year which stood at 4.44 trillion Naira and 200% of the 2016 budget which is projected at 6 trillion Naira.
Imagine where we would be if all these projects were completed.

The Nigerian abandoned projects story is taking a surprising new twist whish is starting from Rivers State.
The NEW administration in Rivers State has chosen a direction against this trend. The Rivers State governor has shown a very rare character by his commitment to completing all people oriented projects that have been abandoned within the state (no call mono rail here oo). He has said severally that he would complete all projects started by previous administrations as long as it would be to the benefit of the people.

The Eagle Island to Illuabuchi road which was started by the Odili administration and cooooooontinued by the Ameachi administration has been completed by him, the Odili/Woji/ Akajo road is receiving priority attention as work has even started on the second bridge.

His attitude towards abandoned and incomplete projects has endeared him to a lot of people as it has shown him as a man who can deliver on the goods and who values the benefit of Rivers people over his personal legacy, Ego or pride. He has shown himself as one who would gladly leave the pack, break negative institutions and chart a new course if it would serve the interest of Rivers people.

With the stellar performance of this government, Rivers people can comfortably boast that we made the right choice.

hahaha. you call an incompetent sleeping Care taker governor performing. a man that has no administrative blue print . what is program for infrastructure in the start apart from the substandard open gutter road patching projects?. what are his blue print for Education apart from sacking hundreds of lecturers in Riv poly, planning to sending back over 600 students on over seas scholarship, allowing weeds and grasses to overgrow the beautiful primary schools he inherited from the previous gov't their by forcing kids to remain at home for months , what are his blue prints for security when kidnapping has been a norm in the state, what are his blue print in youth empowerment when he has disbanded RSSDA as well as Tima Riv

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Your Opinion but d People in Rivers are behind Wike and Pdp,he is Working tirelessly despite reduced allocations compared to d last administration,he has paid all workers and pensioners from d last administration,Repairing abandoned roads and building new ones,We hope he continues well thruout his 8yrs in Office!

God forbid he continues. so your wish for rivers people is mediocrity? did Amaechi constructed an open gutter drainage road in his 8yrs as a governor? so you want Rivers to go back in time when open gutter drainage system without pedestrian walk way was been the norm? even some roads that were started by the Amaechi gov having laid the foundation of standard road construction in the state was reverted to a poorly designed and substandard road by wike shortly after he assumed office. a shinning example is the psychiatric road that was started by Amaechi with underground drainage and pedestrian walk. the project has gone mid way to completion. Wike took over and reverted the remaining construction to an open gutter drainage without pedestrian walk way. is that the kind of governor you want for Rivers.
We the well meaning engines of Rivers has rejected him and we can't even wait to boot him out with our vote come next year
