The Senate added that the continuous trend was costing the country much needed funds.

“As soon as these programmes and projects are abandoned, new ones are initiated only to be abandoned again by yet another successive government. The process continues while the nation’s resources continue to be wasted,” Senator Dino Melaye said on Monday, January 16, during a hearing on the abandonment of the N8 billion Code of Conduct Bureau Office headquarters in Abuja.

This sustainable policy has yielded positive results as these countries have moved from developing to developed world.

“The Senate was utterly dismayed when it received a motion in respect of the abandonment of N8 billion Code of Conduct Bureau office headquarters projects,” he added.
