The Minister of Works, David Umahi, has given a December 15 deadline to contractors handling the Eleme–Onne section of the East-West Road in Rivers State to complete the work or face sanctions.
This was as he expressed dissatisfaction over the slow pace
of the work.
The minister made the complaint while inspecting the ongoing
project at the section.
He warned that the federal government would not extend the
timeline beyond that date.
“The pace of the work is totally not acceptable. And let me
make it very, very clear to the contractor: this project can never be reviewed
by a Kobo, neither can there be any POP—variation of price—or any other claims
on the project.
“You complained of rain, but there are a lot of works that
could go under the rain. For example, we’ve noticed a number of failures, areas
that failed under this carriageway which is Port Harcourt-bound.”
Umahi, who regretted that the job is totally being delayed,
told the controller in the area to issue the contractor another letter of
warning.
