According to THE NATION, the Presidency has disclosed that some deceitful projects were awarded during the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Many of the projects were said to be merely on paper and no payment was made for their start-up.
The President’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, in an interview on Express Radio in Kano on Tuesday, noted that some projects, which existed only on paper, were being activated. He cited the Kano-Katsina dual road project as an example of what he called “deceitful and ghost projects now being given life”.
”Kano-Katsina dual highway was awarded three years ago by the last administration. They didn’t pay a kobo for its start-up. President Buhari just paid money for the first tranche of 75 kilometers and work has begun apace.”
Shehu said Nigeria was taking a giant leap in infrastructure development by speeding up ongoing projects and investing heavily in the construction and repair of highways, railways and power generating plants across the country.
