With expected oil and gas revenues positioning Guyana to finance infrastructural development, the Guyana Association of Professional Engineers (GAPE) and the Ministry of Public Works are expected to meet soon to discuss the proposed creation of a National Infrastructure Plan (NIP).
The local engineering body explained that an NIP would form a subset of this country’s overall National Development Plan and should be welcomed across the parliamentary divide to ensure that Guyana’s development does not become hindered when governments change.
“We certainly need an NIP because our infrastructural needs still far exceeds our available resources, therefore it is a question of us maximizing the use of the resources we have, in order to achieve the best development outcomes for this country,” the Chairman of the Interim Management Committee of GAPE, Stuart Hughes, told Sunday Stabroek.
