\u201cThis is because, today Nigeria has more than N5 trillion worth of abandoned projects and if you trace the history of these projects, you will find out that they are predominantly caused by contractors\u2019 neglect.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that by coming-up with an additional legislation to provide for additional fines and damages against contractors, issues of contracts abandonment will become history in Nigeria,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

According to him, he has so far sponsored ten Bills, six motions and presented two petitions with a view to effect positive change and improve the lives of citizens.<\/p>\n

The bills included the one seeking to amend the National Universities Commission Act, to give the commission the power to regulate the conditions of service and procedure for engagement of academic staff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
