Funding gaps stalling road projects, says Fashola
Fashola was addressing reporters on the poor state of roads in the land against the series of approvals by the Federal Executive Council during the current administration’s first tenure.
Fashola said: “First of all, about abandoned projects. It’s important we all speak the same language. I think there is a very clear distinction doing a project that is uncompleted and a project that is abandoned. They mean two different things. “What are we doing about abandoned projects? One of the things we have done, including what we have done today finding out why projects have not been completed in some cases, the rates have become obsolete. So, the price of cement has changed, the exchange rate has changed, inflation has gone into the quantities in which it was awarded before we came.
He added: “It is the government policy to ensure that we complete as many projects as possible. Unlike in the past, this government has focused on completing projects.
