Obiano said that previous administrations paid lip services to the project, resulting to its abandonment for more than 20.

The governor also appealed to the federal government to step up action in the procurement of necessary facilities for the library section.

He said it would be nice to have everything in place before the visit of president to Anambra in a few weeks time for the inauguration of the mausoleum.

He said: “President Buhari is determined to keep to his promises on the Zik’s mausoleum. The project is an honour to Zik of Africa, who played major roles in shaping the nation.

“This project started 23 years ago and we must thank President Buhari for keeping to his words.’’

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs?
