The Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has warned that he will sack contractors that are executing projects without adhering strictly to job specifications and terms of agreement in the state.
Okpebholo gave the warning during an inspection tour of ongoing road construction projects in Edo South Senatorial District.
He said, “We’ve gone round several places today. We were at Church Road, Upper Ekenwan Road and we were not too happy with the contractor there. We have made our observations known to the contractor on the need to meet specifications.
“By the time we return next time and nothing has happened the way we want it, we can revoke that job.”
The governor, who expressed satisfaction with work quality at other project sites, commended the contractors who had shown commitment and professionalism.
He said, “We have gone to three other places and I can see that everything is going well. I am very happy with the contractors handling the job on Ogheghe and Sapele roads; they are doing a very good job.”
He also warned that his administration would not tolerate unnecessary delays, especially with the rainy season fast approaching, noting that road infrastructure remained a top priority.
