Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau State has said that he hates hearing about abandoned projects and would strive to complete all projects he initiated and some inherited ones before leaving office.
Lalong stated this on Saturday while interacting with journalists after a media tour of ongoing projects in the state.
He said “In our vision we said that if projects initiated by the previous administration are viable and is going to be useful to the people, we will continue and complete the project. Today we are using the new government house, I didn’t start the project but I completed it and the people of Plateau are using it. We have so far completed some abandoned projects and we are going to complete more of them because I hate hearing about abandoned projects, we went to the capital market, got the money needed to complete the projects and we told the contractor that he must finish the projects in time. We realize that the contractor is slow and we have issued him a notice of termination and you will see what will happen in the next three months,’’
