Rivers State Governor, Siminialayi Fubara has ordered the revocation of the Andoni section of Ogoni-Andoni-Opobo-Nkoro Unity Road project, due to slow pace of work.
Fubara , while inspecting the project on Saturday expressed dissatisfaction with the effort of the contractor saying it was regrettable that the contractor could only achieve about 45 per cent milestone on the project despite receiving 100 per cent funding from the immediate past administration for quick delivery.
“What I have seen here today leaves much to be desired, given that the immediate past administration had good intention for the people of Andoni.
“The last administration made so much commitment to the point of even making 100 per cent payment to ensure quick delivery of the project before the end of its tenure, unfortunately the contractor did otherwise.
“We are left with no option than to remove the big elephant behind the slow pace of work on this project just like President Bola Tinubu removed the big elephant behind fuel subsidy,” Fubara said.
The governor then directed the Works Commissioner to immediately commence the process of revocation of the Project while also
directing that the project be reawarded to a more competent contractor.
He assured that the Andoni Section of the Unity Road would be completed and commissioned within his first hundred days in office.
