Leadership Must Think Beyond Projects

  Written by Nduka Anyanwu APGA Candidate House of Representatives, Ahiazu and Ezinihite Mbaise Federal Constituency, Imo State  *One* of the mistakes Nigeria must overcome is measuring development by the _number of projects commissioned rather than the value those projects create._  1. A road that deteriorates shortly after construction is *not* sustainable development. 2. A water project without a maintenance plan is *not* sustainable development. 3. A school building without adequate learning facilities is *incomplete* development. 4. A healthcare facility without equipment and personnel *cannot* deliver the intended health outcomes.
