The House of Representatives has begun investigations into  the Federal Government’s projects, abandoned since 1999 by the Federal Government.

An ad hoc committee set up by the House to probe abandoned projects in the communications sector, including the Closed Circuit Television camera projects, held its inaugural meeting in Abuja.

Chairman of the committee, Mr CHUKWUMA UMEOJI, said the parliament would prosecute those behind the failed projects.

UMEOJI noted that Ministries, departments, agencies, parastatals, commissions and boards have awarded contracts for the execution of several capital projects since the nation returned to democratic rule in 1999.

The lawmaker said they would invite all stakeholders and call for memorandums to help them in their investigations. A member of the committee, Mr ADIGUN ADEKUNLE, said they had compiled the list of the abandoned projects.
