Infrastructural development is the bedrock of any meaningful development effort in the world today. It is important to stress that, it is not enough for facilities of development to be put in place by government or individuals; it is more than enough for these facilities to be adequately and properly maintained so that the purpose for which they are meant would be accomplished.
However, due to the errenous notion in this part of the world that government property does not belong to anybody, facilities that are meant to benefit the masses are abandoned to rot away, wasting away without being put to any good use as people are not interested in making such facilities sustainable. The result therefore, is that public facilities do not last long due to lack of maintenance.
