She said the Government was committed to providing the necessary infrastructure and logistics for the development of the nation and it was mandatory on the assemblies to take all projects seriously and ensure they were executed well enough to benefit the people.

She said it was unfortunate that many projects in the Region were carried out at a slow pace and ended up not meeting standards.
