Nigeria's Infrastructural Development And Maintenance Culture!

To promote growth, responsible governments the world over invest huge sum of money the year round in infrastructure works and integral projects. Howbeit, it is the duty of both governments and citizens to see to it that these infrastructures lasts for a very long time through maintenance.

The rate at which supposedly completed projects develop faults and dilapidated in very short time is simply alarming. For instance, the state of the newly built side-walks along Lekki express-way calls for a review on the Nigerian contractors' ethics in using quality materials/ delivering 'good-jobs' and the maintenance culture.

At some point, these projects appeared as though there were rushed. Bricks on side-walks are not properly laid, where there were, they are placed haphazardly.  Why spend much money on projects that only lasts for as long as there were completed.
