Adamawa State Ministry of Infrastructure and Community Development has made a passionate appeal on the House Standing Committee on Infrastructure to consider increasing its 2020 proposed budget estimate so as to cover the ongoing and abandoned projects spread across the state.
The Commissioner Ministry of Infrastructure and Community Development, Hon. Abdullahi Adamu Prambe made the appeal shortly after defending the ministry's 2020 proposed budget estimate at the House of Assembly complex today.
Hon. Prambe said that his ministry is worried about the number of abandoned projects inherited from the past administrations, and stressed the need for the review of the ministry's budget so as to cover both the abandoned and ongoing rural roads and electrification.
He sought for partnership with a view to ensuring that the projects are accorded needed attention in the 2020 budget, and further pleaded with the House of Assembly to support the ministry to enable it complete the projects for the benefit of the citizens.
According to him, it is good for the state to embark on the execution of new projects, but added it is equally important to complete the ones that huge resources were expended on it without the citizens benefiting from it.
The Commissioner posited that the greater population of the state are rural dwellers, and that if the government is able to provide infrastructural facilities for them, it will go along way in addressing urban migration.
Hon. Abdullahi Adamu Prambe reiterated the readiness of his ministry to give maximum support to the committee so as to succeed.
