The Federal Government has promised to execute projects across the country to entrench justice and equity.
The Minister of Budget and National Planning, Udo Udoma, made the pledge in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media, Akpandem James, in Kaduna.
He said the strategy would demonstrate the sincerity of purpose of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Administration.
Udoma gave the assurance while inaugurating the soil erosion and flood control project in Kwoi town, Ham District of Jaba Local Government Area in southern Kaduna State.
The Minister said that at this critical moment of nation building and economic recovery, proper execution of people-oriented projects, would provide a window of opportunity for economic growth of communities.
Udoma said execution of people-oriented projects would also unlock the potentials which were in tandem with the Buhari administration’s policy thrust, especially on agriculture and food security.
According to him, the Kwoi erosion and flood control project is one of the ecological intervention projects approved by Buhari in August, 2016.
He said that the contract for execution of the project was awarded by the Federal Executive Council (FEC) on January 25, 2017.
“The project is expected to check flooding and erosion menace in the communities that had for so many years been experiencing untold hardship and neglect.
“It is also expected to enhance the wellbeing of the people as well as reduce dangers to lives and property,” the Minister said.
