The Nigerian Government on Thursday reiterated its determination to complete all ongoing and abandoned projects in the country.

The team which was led by the board chairman of FMBN, Adewale Adeeyo, were in Fashola’s office to pay him a courtesy visit.

Adeeyo, during the visit, had reminded Fashiola of the yet to be completed re-capitalisation of the bank project, and asked that the current administration see to its completion.

In his response, Fashola said the policy direction of the Muhammadu Buhari’s government was on completing all on-going and abandoned projects.

He assured that his ministry would ensure that the process was completed as the government of the day placed importance on Housing and Consumers Credit.

”It is one of those areas of urgent focus by the president as a way of creating prosperity and as a way of enhancing the dignity of Nigerians,” he added.
