The Cause of Abandoned Public Development Projects

CHAPTER ONE


Introduction
Only little portion of government projects are executed by direct labour, while most of the development projects are awarded to contractions.
Public structures have been known to be abandoned in the cause of construction or left to dilapidate after being practically completed.
Incidents of abandoned projects are rampant all over the country e.g. from Enugu to ILorin, port Harcourt to Sokoto and Lagos to Maiduiguri. Projects of high capital cost. Such as residential buildings, office buildings and even road constructions.

1.1 Historical Background Of The Federal Capital Tarritory VIZ — AVIZ Federal Capital Development Authority Abuja (FCDA)
The federal capital territory Abuja was created in 1976 by Decree No6 of that year which was established the federal capital development agency responsible for the design, construction and administration of the territory.
The decree also vested ownership and control for all land in the territory in the federal government of Nigeria. The territory which is located at the centre of the country covers an areas of 8000sqkm.
It is therefore more than twice the land area of Lagos state (93535sq.km) about two-thirds the size of Imo state (13032sq. km).
The federal capital territory itself is designed to cover an area of 256sq. Km or 3% of the total land area of the territory and at full development the city is expected to have a total population of 3.2 million.
In the FCT the duration of sunshine range from 6-8 hours per day in the south and 8-10 hours per day in the North from January to April / may. There is however a steep drop to a mean of about 4 hours per day in the month of July / August largely due to increase in cloud cover it starts again in the month of September.
Abuja, a virgin land with virtually no amenities of any sort before 1976 even where the pioneer civil servants would stay became a test case. Therefore Civil Servants had to stay in scattered level hotels in Suleja for residential accommodation and a borrowed Niger State Housing Estate had to be used as the Head Quarters of the FCDA.
The only road from Suleja to the Linther land of the territory was a colonial narrow tarred road.
FCDA is a parastatals under the Ministry for the Federal Capital Territory (MFCT) responsible for the physical development f the territory.
