An appeal has gone to the Federal Government to pay more attention to the coordination of the pet projects of wives of Governors across the country and provide support to those that could make, more Nigerians gain more access to the dividends of democracy because of their relevance to solving the problems of terrorism, insurgency, banditry, kidnapping as well as many anti-social vices, irrespective of the party affiliation of the spouses of the founders of such projects.

The President Equal Rights for Persons With Disabilities International Incorporation, Chief Eric Ufom who stated this in a statement he dispatched from Houston, Texas maintained in the document that until this is done, political leaders in the country might continue to make motions without any movement in the quest for an end to the myriads of problems that have continued to prevent the development of the country.

In the statement which he made available to the media over the weekend, Chief Ufom maintained that, “lack of coordination from the centre has caused many of the pet projects that were initiated by the wives of state governors to fail woefully.

“But if there is a deliberate policy by the Federal Government to provide the needed support. many of these projects which are actually beautiful on paper would have done more for the people in the grassroots where these women are well respected as role models.
