Delta to sanction contractors over project delay
The Delta State government has stated that the act of delaying projects by contractors as a ploy to request an upward review would no longer be tolerated.
The Director General of Delta State Capital Territory Development Agency, Chief Patrick Ukah, stated on Thursday while flagging off construction of Leo Okonweze Street off Ezenei Avenue and Odozi Obodo/Aninta/Anenta Street off Ezenei Avenue, both in Oshimilli South Local Government Area.
He charged contractors to go back to sites, as any delay that will result in a demand for upward review will not be accepted.
The DG said with the availability of all that was needed to have the job done, they were expected to commence work without delay.
He said that Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has zero tolerance for shoddy jobs and warned that the state government will not spare anybody who is in the job of delivering projects that are not of the highest quality.
While commending the contractors for kickstarting the projects at the right time and season, he enjoined them to maintain the pace in order to deliver the right quality of work and on schedule.
“There will be close monitoring till the end of the project. The commencement of work on the two roads that link into villages in Asaba was a testament to the fulfilment of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s MORE Agenda for Deltans,” Ukah cautioned.
