President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered Ministries Departments and Agencies of the federal government to expedite actions over completion of all ongoing projects.
The completion of these ongoing projects is top on the agenda as Vice
President Yemi Osinbajo presides over the first Federal Executive
Council, FEC, meeting in 2022.
The meeting also deliberated on the implementation of the
N17.12Trillion budget signed by President Mohammadu Buhari late last
year.
The Vice President is standing in for President Buhari who is attending
the inauguration of the Gambian President.
Amongst the memos discussed, the Ministry of Works and Housing has
the highest number of items.
These include the Lagos to Ibadan expressway, the Abuja-Kaduna and
Kano expressway and the 2nd Niger bridge, which the President said
must be completed in 2022, while MDAs have been asked to put new
projects on hold, especially those not covered by the 2021 and the 2022
budgets.
President Buhari departed Abuja, early Wednesday, for Banjul, Republic
of The Gambia, to attend the inauguration of Gambian President, Adama
Barrow, following his re-election for a second term.
He is expected back in the country at the end of the inauguration
ceremonies.
