Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has warned the contractor handling the Bori internal road project to complete it soon or face severe sanctions.
The governor said that despite 80 per cent of the agreed contractual terms being paid, the contractor’s approach to the project has been unacceptable.
Governor Fubara made the disclosure when he visited the project site in Bori Town, headquarters of Khana Local Government Area of Rivers State on Saturday.
While expressing surprise over concerns that the state government is unwilling to complete the project, the governor explained that he has paid for about eighty percent of the over N6 billion worth project awarded by his presecessor.
The governor further explained that after payments were made, the contractor refused to move his men and equipment to the site, and even sacked his front desk officer for receiving a letter from the Ministry of Works demanding an update on the project.
Governor Fubara warned that the contractor should either go back to site or face an embarrassing response from the government.
