The Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, on Wednesday charged contractors working on road projects in the State to work comply with design specifications and agreed timelines or risked revocation of their contracts.
He gave the charge on Wednesday while inspecting some roads and drainage projects in the State.
The Governor who inspected ongoing road and drainage projects at Orior-Ozolua Community, Orior Uteh Palace Road, New Uteh Road Ekiuwa Quarters and Upper Ekenhuan open drain by Nigeria Army Cantonment, expressed dissatisfaction with their execution rates.
He also expressed displeasure over the slow pace of work in the Orior-Ozolua community and non compliance with the specified thickness of the drainage.
“Why did you reduce the width of the drain? You reduced it on both sides. Look at my face, if you are not doing the right thing and not working according to specifications, I can revoke the contract any moment without fear or favour.
“I need you to do a quality job. The resources belong to the people and must be utilized effectively and efficiently,” he charged.
He, therefore, instructed the contractor to do the right thing or have his contract revoked.
