Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has warned the contractor handling the Bori internal road project to complete it soon.
The governor decried the contractor’s approach to work despite 80 per cent payment upfront.
Governor Fubara made the disclosure when he visited the project site in Bori Town, headquarters of Khana Local Government Area of Rivers State.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Nelson Chukwudi, and sent to newsmen.
The governor said, “This project was awarded before I assumed office. But I have made two payments for this project. The total value of this project is over N6 billion.
“In June 2023, I paid the first N2billion, and in December 2023, I also released another N2billion, making about 80 percent of the project value.
“So, I am surprised that somebody will say that we are not interested in completing this project that is in my Senatorial District.
“I don’t want to mention the name of the contractor, let it not be that I am being personal. But the contractor knows himself.
“He should better go back to the site or I will do something that will embarrass him as a person,” the governor warned.
