The Minister of Works, Dave Umahi has directed the contractors handling sections One to four of the Lokoja- Benin, Obajana Junction- Benin roads in Kogi and Edo States to sign the reviewed contracts for the projects or they would be terminated.
The Minister handed down the directive to the contractors in a meeting with the representatives of the various contracting firms handling the project held at the Ministry’s Headquarters in Abuja.
Umahi also gave the officials of the ministry 7 days within which to carry out a comprehensive audit of the ongoing projects to determine the status of work done as well as the capacity of personnel and equipment being used by the contractors.
He frowned at the pranks of the contractors who were part of the process of re-scoping and reviewing the contract specifications but failed to sign the reviewed contract documents after agreeing that they would do the job based on the new specification.
