The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN), on Friday said President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration will not abandon projects initiated by the last administration.
Fashola stated this at the commissioning of the 100 units ministerial pilot housing scheme, along Ogbomoso-Ilorin expressway.
The minister said change should not be dysfunctional, adding that essence of political power was to improve human dignity.
The project was financed by the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN.
Fashola said, “I want to acknowledge that this housing estate project was started during the last administration in 2014. It is important to do so. But I know that traditionally when administrations change, especially when political ideologies also change, people are apprehensive of what happened to uncompleted projects. People may have been worried what would happen to this estate.
“Gladly today, President Buhari has said that change does not have to be dysfunctional. There is no politics about housing. It is human dignity that is most important. That is the purpose of political power.
“So, for those who ask what change means. It means change does not have to be dysfunctional and it is all about service to people.
“Hundreds of families would live in this neighbourhood, and that is change.”
