Minister of Works, Power and
Housing, Babatunde Fashola on Tuesday warned that the Federal Government would
not accept the 74 housing units and Jega-Yauri road project.
He said the projects were
shoddily done.
The minister, who personally
inspected the two projects in Birnin Kebbi, told the contractors to undertake
the project within specification otherwise the government would not accept
them.
He observed that most of the
roofing of the bungalows in the Federal Housing Estate and road culverts were
not done properly.
“The roofing is not standard and
road culverts are not properly done. They have to reconstruct some of these
buildings because we cannot accept them; their roofs are not well constructed,”
he said.
Similarly, Fashola told the
contractor handling the Jega-Yauri road that he was not satisfied with the
narrow culverts constructed along the road.
“I am not satisfied with these
culverts, you have to reconstruct them.
“The government has overcome the
challenges of funding but is now faced with the challenge of getting the
project done in compliance with contractual agreement.
“With all clear intention, we
cannot do the work, we have to entrust the contractors to do the work for us,
hence they should do it according to the agreement,” the minister said.
Mr Walid AbouJaoude of TRIACTA
Nigeria Limited handling the road project pledged that the company would do all
the necessary corrections and complete the project on time.
