UMAHI INTRODUCES NEW CONTRACTOR MOBILISATION POLICY FOR ROAD PROJECTS
The Minister of Works, David Umahi, announced on Saturday that, going forward, no contractor would be mobilized without working on-site for a minimum of 30 days and performing permanent work.
Umahi made this statement while inspecting the Rehabilitation of the Abuja-Kaduna-Kano Dual Carriageway, Section 1: Abuja-Kaduna road project.
He explained that the new policy was designed to ensure that contractors demonstrated their commitment to the projects before receiving any financial support.
According to the minister, any contractor bidding for a project should also show their financial capacity to execute the work.
He also commended the progress of the project, stating that concrete work would begin in the first week of March.
In response, the Managing Director of Infouest, Joseph Abougaounde, expressed gratitude to the Ministry of Works for the trust placed in the company.
He assured that Infouest had worked diligently over the past three months and would continue to deliver the best quality work on time.
