Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has warned contractors handling various road and drainage projects across the state to adhere strictly to specifications and agreed timelines or risk contract termination.
Governor Okpebholo gave the directive while inspecting ongoing projects, where he expressed dissatisfaction with the slow pace of work and deviations from approved standards.
During his visit to Orior-Ozolua Community, the Governor was visibly displeased with the contractor’s slow pace of work, following residents’ complaints about the firm’s inconsistent presence on-site.
“Why did you reduce the width of the drain? You altered it on both sides. If you are not working according to specifications, I will not hesitate to revoke this contract,” the Governor warned, emphasizing his commitment to ensuring quality infrastructure for Edo people.
The Governor and his entourage also inspected projects at Orior Uteh Palace Road, New Uteh Road, Ekiuwa Quarters, and Upper Ekenhuan, where residents welcomed him with excitement and gratitude for prioritizing their long-neglected communities.
Governor Okpebholo reaffirmed his administration’s resolve to deliver people-centered projects, stressing that public resources must be used efficiently for the benefit of all.
