Edo State Government has urged contractors handling projects in the 192 wards in the state to speed up work on the projects or have same revoked.
The charge was given yesterday by the Chairman of the State Universal Basic Education Board, Chief Stephen Alao, during the payment of mobilisation fees to contractors in Benin City.
The jobs which covered the 192 wards in the state, include construction of new classroom blocks, reconstruction and renovation of existing classroom blocks and supply of furniture to the schools.
Alao noted that the contract awards followed the due process, stressing that the state government was committed to the speedy completion of projects in the state, particularly in the educational sector, just as he warned that the state government would not tolerate jobs that are not executed with quality materials.
He also warned contractors against bribing Engineers, adding that “the projects will be monitored very closely.
Your money is with us. Anytime you complete your jobs, we will pay you. You don’t have to beg or lobby me for payment. Do not compromise on standard. Take photographs of your project as you progress. We will not allow any sub-standard job to stand.”
