That's common in the region. You announce major new projects, start them, and don't finish them. New leadership comes in, ignores the old projects, and starts a new set. You don't fix or finish old things started by your predecessor. You start building new ones.

Nah, that happens everywhere (at least where governments change every few years).

There's a difference of scale. EU, US, China, Korea, Japan, etc. have some of this, but also successfully have long-running projects. Things build up over time. You have major institutions and infrastructure maintained over multiple administrations.

This problem is common everywhere, but it's extreme in most ECOWAS countries.
