Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has issued a stern warning to contractors handling ongoing projects across the state, directing them to adhere strictly to specifications and agreed timelines or risk contract termination.
Governor Okpebholo gave the directive while inspecting several road and drainage projects, where he expressed dissatisfaction with the pace and quality of work.
In Orior-Ozolua Community, residents complained about the contractor’s inconsistent presence on-site, with Mr. Sylvester Igbinovia stating, “Most times, they are not here. Today, they showed up because they knew you were coming.”
Inspecting the drainage construction, the Governor noted deviations from the approved specifications and warned the contractor to rectify the issues immediately or face revocation of the contract.
“Why did you reduce the width of the drain? This project is for the people, and resources must be utilized effectively. If you fail to meet the required standards, I will revoke the contract without hesitation,” he declared.
The Governor’s visit also included Orior Uteh Palace Road, New Uteh Road, Ekiuwa Quarters, and Upper Ekenhuan open drain by the Nigeria Army Cantonment. Residents in these areas celebrated his intervention, expressing gratitude for his commitment to infrastructure development after years of neglect by the previous administration.
