The Federal Government says that it inherited over 166 ongoing and abandoned water projects from previous administrations. It also explained that the abandoned projects date back to as far back as 1992 and the early 2000s.
The Minister of Water resources, Suleiman Adamu, revealed this on Thursday while speaking at the weekly ministerial briefing organised by the Presidential Communication Team at the presidential villa, Abuja. Adamu said, “We inherited 116 ongoing and abandoned projects. And we made a strategic decision that we are going to concentrate more on completing as many of the ongoing and abandoned projects that we found.
“So we have not been in the habit of starting new projects, although we are coming to that in due course.“The 166 projects include 38 irrigation projects, 37 dam projects and others. After doing a technical audit in 2016, we prioritised them into high, medium and low priority. And that has been what is driving us.
Story for the gods.
