Infrastructure investment also represents animportant untapped potential for the creation of productiveemployment. In spite of this obvious importance of infrastructure tothe nation, governments both at federal and state level havecontinued to pay lip service to infrastructure provision. This hasundermined growth prospect in the country. We shall now takeglances at the condition of some of the country’s major infrastructure.J. Ajayi Patunola & Co.. Estate Surveyors & Valuers 8
