Rehabilitate Existing Infrastructure Before Embarking on New Projects

I have consistently advised governments at all levels to prioritise rehabilitating existing infrastructure before embarking on new projects that may also end up abandoned or left unfinished. For expressing this position, I have often been criticised and called all sorts of names. Yet, it remains the most responsible approach to governance.

It is therefore noteworthy that President Bola Tinubu has now cautioned state governors against committing scarce public resources to constructing unnecessary flyovers in areas with little traffic while neglecting more pressing developmental needs.

The President is, in essence, saying what I have always maintained: government must prioritise projects that directly address the immediate needs of the people. I hope those ministers, officials, and supporters who have consistently attacked this position will now direct the same criticism at him.

However, this admonition must also apply to the Federal Government. There are several unrealistic and white-elephant projects being pursued by the current administration, even as much of our critical infrastructure remains in a state of disrepair. Given our present fiscal realities, priority should be given to rehabilitating and completing existing infrastructure rather than embarking on expensive new projects with limited immediate impact.

Across Nigeria, many of our major highways linking commercial centres and food-producing communities have deteriorated into death traps. Neglecting these critical roads while pursuing prestige projects is neither economically prudent nor people-centred.

This philosophy guided my administration as Governor of Anambra State. I prioritised completing viable projects initiated by my predecessors before embarking on new ones. Government is a continuum, and development should never be measured by who starts a project, but by whether it is completed and serves the people.

Leadership is about making the right choices: fixing what is broken, completing what has already been started, and investing limited public resources where they will have the greatest impact on the greatest number of people.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

@winninggrace22 @DanielRegha Competence has everything to do with how much nomination form cost, even in the last election Labour Party spend over 15billion, people invested their hard earned money here and expect returns if it goes well

[Cephas 🇳🇬 @CephasTorgba]

@Mrnobilityx @DanielRegha It doesn't work that way, NDC will not generate even up to 1 billion in revenue, how much will they embezzle, pay staffs, buy vehicles, visit stake holders and traditional rollers etc for campaigns and awareness

[Cephas 🇳🇬 @CephasTorgba]

@MasterBolaji The NG govt have no hand in this, US made this decision due to shortage of health care professionals in their country, don't mention Tinubu in this

@chaliegodspower @DanielRegha How can one have integrity and be honest without speaking the truth? What capacity and competence has he ever shown that makes him worthy of being a president?

@Helltridax001 When criticising FG u check their policies, FG have given permission for States,LGs and private individuals to generate and sale electricity on there own but none have done that, inflation have been on a high side and u won't expect prices of anything to be same.

@ButterBibi @IkukuAgba Maybe it stopped working when NCC brought about NIN linking and she never linked hers, it might have been assigned to a new customer before it got missing

[Cephas 🇳🇬 @CephasTorgba]

@Prettigilo @ButterBibi Mtn pay NCC to get those numbers which is why the reassign it if old customers stop using it to cut cost
