SGF_Babachir_Lawal-Infrastructural developmentThe Federal Government of Nigeria has vowed to flush out corrupt persons whose practices have affected infrastructural projects execution in the nation.

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr Babachir Lawal, made the statement on Wednesday while addressing a gathering at a public function in Akure, the Ondo State Capital.

According to Mr Lawal, who represented President Muhammadu Buhari, lamented that Nigeria was currently grappling with the challenge of substandard and abandoned projects.

He called for the support of credible financial institutions in the implementation of such projects.

Also at the gathering was the Ondo State Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko. He also emphasised that “the ongoing global economic recession demands the support of professionals in governments projects’ implementation at minimal costs”.

He added that his administration had set a high standard in provision of developmental projects in all sectors of the state’s economy in order to improve the quality of life of the citizenry.

A foremost lawyer and educationist, Mr Afe Babalola, also expressed sadness that Nigeria was facing lots of challenges such as terrorism and unemployment together with decay in core infrastructure.

He pointed out that the problem on ground was the inability to translate blueprint and action plan into practical, transparent and effective results.
