Major suppliers, sub-contractors, and occupants of shops at the ongoing reconstruction of the N4.9 billion popular Agbowo Shopping Complex in Ibadan, Oyo State, have again pleaded with the state governor, Seyi Makinde, to prevail on the contractors handling the project to pay them off.
Dagunduro, a sub-contractor, said, “The challenge now is that the money we committed to this project was borrowed. We borrowed the money and we don’t want to engage in litigation because we are looking at the future prospect, that’s why we are making efforts to ensure that they pay us.
“Before the project was suspended, the contractors kept promising us to pay based on our agreement. We have gone to many places and no response. Governor Seyi Makinde should help us.” Shokunbi, a supplier, said, “When I discovered that the governor was involved in the project, I applied believing that I will get my money in time. They told me to supply 20 trucks of stone burst, 30 tons of it and they gave us the LPO to that effect that four weeks after delivery, they would pay. The payment has turned to two years.”“I went to Agbowo area and saw Makinde’s poster being a governor planning to renovate the complex, that prompted me to bid for it.
