Terry Etinosa, Benin, Edo State: My recent visit to Okere dam shows that this country lacks a maintenance culture. This dam was initiated by the administration of President Shehu Shagari. It was meant to generate power and serve also as a source of water for the inhabitants of that locality. Sadly, due to the abandonment by successive governments, the project could not attain its full purpose. Several billions of naira were sunk into the project, which is near completion. If this nation is to attain her vision of greatness and dreams, then she must learn how to make use of her facilities.
