Constituency Projects For Imo State Federal Lawmakers Approved In The 2016 Budget (SPECIAL REPORT)

 



BY CHIEDU UZODINMA, EDITOR

INNONEWS.COM has stumbled on a list of constituency projects approved in the 2016 Federal Budget for senators and members of House of Representatives representing Imo State in the National Assembly.

 The projects are also listed as part of the Federal Government’s Zonal Intervention Projects in the South East.  

Some of them are ongoing projects while 99% are brand new projects requested by the lawmakers and captured in the budget.
  
In the last 16 years, thousands of such projects are contained in annual national budgets and billions of naira provided for them. Monies approved for such projects are embezzled by the lawmakers in connivance with officials of federal government agencies and parastatals who are assigned to execute these projects
.However, from records obtained by this newspaper, Imo State will benefit from various projects which are in the domain of the present federal lawmakers in the 8th National Assembly. 

It is important to note that it is not the duty of the lawmakers to be given the funds to carry out these projects as such funds are in the vaults of various Federal government agencies and parastatals who execute the  projects .
  
And in line with the editorial policy of this newspaper, we decided to publish the constituency projects for Imo State federal lawmakers as approved in the 2016 budget.

Imo State has 3 senators and 10 members of the House of Representatives representing all the three senatorial zones and the 27 local governments in the State.

Over N100 billion naira was approved in the 2016 budget for more than 1,000 projects scattered across 360 federal constituencies and 109 senatorial zones in the six geo political zones of the country. These projects are designed to improve the quality of lives of people in the rural areas who elected them to represent them in the National Assembly.

The three senators from Imo State are: Senator Samuel Anyanwu ( Imo East), Senator Athan Achonu ( Imo North) and Senator Hope Uzodinma (Imo West)
