Panel on abandoned projects set up

    DAR ES SALAAM
    President Olusegun Obasanjo has set up a panel to review hundreds of projects abandoned by federal ministries and government firms under Nigeria’s last four military administrations (1984-May 1999), AFP reported on Tuesday, quoting state officials. The 12-member body, which will work from the vice president’s office, will assess the degree of work carried out and whether the payments were commensurate with the jobs done. It will examine the reasons why projects were not finished and recommend how this could be avoided in future.
