The Federal Government has released funds for a range of Zonal Intervention Projects, ZIPs, also known as constituency projects, aimed at tackling the persistent national challenges of bad roads and insecurity across various states. The list of selected projects presented here focuses on hard infrastructure and local security provision in communities spanning all regions of the country.
All the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, are slated to benefit from constituency projects. However, seven states are highlighted here.
Beyond roads, projects include crucial utility extensions. Direct security interventions have also received significant backing. These projects aim to boost the capacity of law enforcement,
With these funds now released, the onus of ensuring successful project delivery falls squarely on the shoulders of the public. There is an urgent call for civil society and well-meaning citizens to actively track and monitor the implementation of these projects to ensure transparency and proper execution.
Citizens in the communities where these projects are sited should assume the role of watchdogs. Historical lapses in the implementation of constituency projects, including outright abandonment or poor quality of work, can only be curbed through active civic engagement. Community monitoring groups are strongly urged to collaborate with anti-graft agencies and media organisations to verify that every naira translates into the intended development, thereby ensuring that the projects truly deliver democratic dividends to the people.
