Does this make the common man to see food chop?

That's beautiful

Well done on these projects...!


However, what I really yearn to see is human capital development.

How are we working towards self-sufficiency as a nation?!!


I personally believe we should be way past aesthetically pleasing infrastructures, and more focused on Investments that will create massive employment and move the economy forward.

Ok

Is rehabilitation a project?

Misleading.

Separate government owned projects from private investments.

ANOH and Mangal are private projects
