THE SQUAWK FOR NON-PROPER EXECUTION OF CONSTITUENCY PROJECTS  BY THE LEGISLATIVE ARM OF GOVERNMENT IN NIGERIA, IS A WORD OF CAUTION TO THE 10TH ASSEMBLY.

The leadership of the Nigerian Legislative Watch with its National secretariat in Abuja the Federal Capital Territory have through its National Executive Director unequivocally resolve to draw the attention of the general public and the reputable members of Nigerian Legislators on the afore-established subject.

We have noticed per time the non-patriotic conduct of some legislators in Nigeria in terms of subverting the confidence reposed on them by their distinct constituency in the facet of non-execution, non-completion, shoddy completion and diversion of constituency projects originally meant for the constituency they represent. The Nigerian Legislative Watch have it on good authority that some legislators have found it convenient to collude with Ministries, Departments and Agencies to thwart the proper execution of constituency projects. The persistent infractions by lawmakers and some government officials in the execution of constituency projects must be condemned by all well-meaning Nigerians in the interest of putting the country on a progressive path.  We are also putting it up to the ministries, departments and agencies who are in the constant project of colluding with some legislators for the wrong reasons to immediately put a stop to it.

The members of the 10th assembly should know that this time around our organization will no longer fold its arms and watch the country being robbed by its elected officials. We will call the attention of the general public cum security agencies forth in the event of any diversion or non-completion of constituency projects in any part of the country.

We Watch legislation for the progress of Nigeria. Our watch over legislation is not restricted to particular strata of legislation in Nigeria. Our interest is to mould legislation to be a meaningful vehicle for achieving the required national progress and greatness. We seek to encourage eminent personalities who have repeatedly demonstrated peerless legislative prowess while encouraging other legislators to toe their path. We will consider any legislation with the potency of putting a setback to the country.

Thank you.

         Amina Abdullahi, The Executive Director.
