Inconsistency In Governance, Bane Of Nation’s Infrastructure – Monarch

The Olomu of Omu-Aran, Oba Abdulraheem Adeoti, has identified inconsistency in government policies as a critical factor militating against the nation’s infrastructure developmental efforts.
Adeoti made the assertion during a sensitisation stakeholders meeting organised by the office of the Kwara State National Orientation Agency, (NOA) at the Olomu’s palace, yesterday.
Our source reports that the stakeholders meeting attracted heads of security agencies, market leaders, union leaders, community development association and civil society organisations.
It was aimed at sensitising stakeholders on the need to imbibe the habit of safeguarding essential national assets and public infrastructures within various communities.
Oba Adeoti said lack of continuity in government infrastructure development plans was responsible for the high number of abandoned projects across towns and villages.
He also blamed inadequate maintenance culture on behalf of government as a contributory factor for the dilapidated states of most public utilities.
The monarch said the non-functionality state of most councils across the states had also compounded the menace of infrastructural decays.
According to him, every successive government comes with different project ideas, policies and programmes without concrete plans for continuity.
“It’s very common in government circle and from past experience to see one government refusing to continue its predecessor’s projects and start similar projects afresh.
