of Rivers State has ordered the revocation of the Andoni section of the Ogoni-Andoni-Opobo-Nkoro Unity Road project due to the alleged slow pace of work by the contractor.
The governor said it was regrettable that the contractor could only achieve about 45 per cent on the project despite receiving 100 per cent funding from Nyesom Wike’s administration. “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.
Consequently, the governor directed the works commissioner to commence the process of revocation of the project immediately.He has also directed that the project be re-awarded to a “more competent” contractor who would deliver timely and according to specifications.
