Should I advise you? This kind of discussion should be written in your local thread for effective discussion. Though I don't know your country, nevertheless, you sound like a typical Nigerian. What you wrote will be strange to many people, even to those people living in a poor country because the corruption allegation may not be so obvious/pronounced as much as you alleged in their countries.
This type of thing is not only prominent in Nigeria. I am not sure if OP is nigerian but it also sounded relatable to me and I am from Asia. We have always wondered why the government seemed to prioritize doing useless things over actual problems.
They would be renaming a local place or “improving” a tourist spot for no reason at all. It does not improve nor change anything in our economy so we don’t know why they do it. There is a saying in my country that says “you know election is near when they are fixing roads that do not need fixing”

There are so much things going on behind the scenes that honestly who knows anymore what the government is doing.
