The Rivers State Executive Council has cancelled a N134
billion contract awarded by the past sole administrator of the state, Vice
Admiral Ikot Ete Ibas (rtd).
The contract was for the reconstruction of the ageing State
Secretariat complex in Port Harcourt.
The contract was awarded to CCECC during the period of
emergency rule by Ibas.
The Council, which reached this decision today at its
meeting, also directed the company to refund the N20 billion mobilisation fee
it has already received.
The Council also approved a 6-man committee headed by the
Deputy Governor of the State, Prof. Ngozi Odu, to evaluate and make
recommendations for the construction of Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres
across the state to facilitate the conduct of external examinations.
The Council further directed the flood committee headed by
the Deputy Governor to take immediate action to address flooding in the state
and cautioned residents against blocking drainage channels.
