Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has proposed a social auditing process that allows civic groups and communities to monitor government projects in the state to ensure that quality jobs are done.
In a zoom meeting held Thursday night with the coordinator of the Elites Network for Sustainable Development, Dr Abdullateef Alagbonsi, AbdulRazaq said the proposal aligned with clamour that projects funded with public resources must meet the standard specified in the contract terms. “I would like a case where before we pay them, we would ask civil societies like yours to come in to monitor these projects; we can say fine these are the bills of quantity for this project, go through them, inspect the projects and see where there are shortcomings before we actually pay the contractors for the next stage to go on.
“I am also looking forward to such engagement on the 26 roads we are doing, which are due for final payment. I am deliberately withholding because I do not want to sign off and somebody would say they have chopped money. We want to make sure that contractors do their job well so that nobody will accuse me of anything.”
