Protect RAAMP Infrastructure, Kogi Communities Told
The Kogi State Rural Access and Agricultural Marketing Project (Kogi-RAAMP) has called on communities across the state to safeguard public infrastructure provided under the project, stressing that protecting the facilities is a collective responsibility necessary for sustainable rural development.
The State Project Coordinator of Kogi-RAAMP, Engr. Sheidu Obansa Adamu, made the call during an enlarged meeting of the State Project Implementation Unit (SPIU) in Lokoja, where he urged residents to shun acts capable of undermining government investments and slowing the pace of development.
Obansa said the substantial investments of the Federal Government, Kogi State Government and development partners must deliver lasting value to rural communities, noting that the success of the project depends not only on quality execution but also on the willingness of beneficiaries to protect the infrastructure.
He disclosed that challenges affecting the pace of project implementation are being addressed comprehensively in collaboration with relevant authorities, assuring stakeholders that delivering the project's mandate remains a top priority.
The Project Coordinator charged contractors, consultants and supervising engineers to remain steadfast in ensuring timely completion of projects without compromising quality or established engineering standards.
He also urged members of the State Project Implementation Unit to redouble their efforts towards achieving the project's objectives, describing existing implementation bottlenecks as temporary and surmountable.
While reiterating his commitment to an open-door policy that promotes constructive engagement and teamwork, Obansa advised staff to avoid actions capable of derailing progress. He emphasized the virtues of discipline, professionalism, tenacity of purpose and exemplary character in the discharge of their responsibilities.
The meeting featured extensive deliberations on strategies for strengthening project implementation and improving service delivery, with members of staff reaffirming their commitment to supporting the successful execution of RAAMP's rural development agenda in Kogi State.
The gathering concluded with special prayers for the continued success of the project and the well-being of members of staff. Prayers were also offered for Alhaji Aminu Sani Ogirima following his safe return from the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca.
