The governor stressed that his administration would continue to pursue all contractual agreements entered into by his predecessor as long as quality of work was not compromised and enjoined consultants to be alive to their responsibilities to avoid lapses. He directed all contractors handling government projects in the state to go back to site and accelerate the pace of work as the rain was gradually abating.

Speaking further, Obiano told the contractors to use the coming Dry Season to work aggressively to complete the projects on schedule and according to specifications. He enjoined the contractors to work on how to be involved in the state’s road maintenance programme and confirm approved burrow pits for sand excavation to avoid aggravating the problem of erosion in some parts of the state.

He also told them to use the state Building Materials Quality Testing Laboratory to confirm the quality of materials used in executing projects to check incessant collapse of buildings and roads.

Earlier, the Commissioner for Works, Sir Callistus Ilozumba, while explaining the import of the meeting, pointed out that the meeting was to focus on and organise various projects and avail them the opportunities to interact with the governor on various issues concerning the projects.

Speaking on behalf of other contractors, Youssef Zghaib assured that they would work hard and to specification and meet the expectations of the government and the people.
