Tokotaya:

This story lacks clarity. So is it Julius Berger or another local contractor that will complete this road?

tpsolomons:

THE Lagos State government on Wednesday terminated the road contract it awarded in 2009 to an indigenous construction firm, Messrs Bulletine Nigeria Limited, for lack of seriousness.

Once you do not abide by the contract, we will terminate the contract,” he said.

chosen04:

Typical Lagos State Fashola's govt style,  . . . . . . . .

For lack of seriousness? In giving Gov. Fashola and his cohorts their own share of the contract sum . . . . . . ?

So the story is true after all. I heard the contractor was penalised cos he refused to ''play ABIDE  the game according to the rules of the SHARING FORMULEA''

SAINT FASHOLA AT HIS BEST INDEED!. I guess its cos he (THE CONTRACTOR)  is starving them (FASHOLA & COHORTS) of projected revenue to use in financing they 2011 come back bid.

The Lagos State Government has denied a report that it has terminated the expansion of the Lagos-Badagry Expressway into 10 lanes.



In a statement on Thursday, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Works and Infrastructure Mr. Ganiyu Johnson, said it was unprogressive for anybody to allege that such a highly beneficial project that would enhance the socio-economic well-being of Nigerians had been terminated.



He noted that substantial progress had been made on the newly constructed bridge at Mile 2, which he said was nearing completion.



A team from the Ministry of Works and Infrastructure, headed by Johnson, had on Wednesday conducted a media tour of the road and light rail projects being handled by Julius Berger Nigeria Plc.



The special adviser said the Orile and Alaba service lanes, which are part of the road project, would be put to use within the next few days.



He said, ”The technology of construction being used by the construction company is the latest in bridge construction. The company has observed the minimum standard of 40 Newton per millimeter square concrete strength, otherwise referred to as grade 40 concrete in local parlance.”



Speaking further on the new bridge technology in the country, the project‘s Resident Engineer, Mr. Samuel Olumuyiwa, said it was economical, faster and relied less on heavy equipment.



He said, ”It involves the launching system done on land and drawn on water by a machine underneath. So, the bridge is cast on land instead of the old technology, where the coaches of the bridge are cast on water.”



JBN‘s Site Manager, Mr. James Casas, said the 170- metre bridge, which is being built on the Festac Canal at Maza Maza area, near Mile 2, was at 72 per cent completion.



He said two bridges would be built on the left and one more on the right to make up for the 10 lanes, which the state government planned on the road.



The lanes now being used by vehicles would be turned to the light rail line at completion of the road project, he said.



The pier for the second bridge on the left is also ready.



In the statement, Johnson assured Lagos residents that the Governor Babatunde Fashola-led administration would not relent in keeping its words.



He said all projects embarked upon by the administration would be completed within the scheduled time frame.



He said, ”We have done it before and we will continue to deliver first class infrastructural facilities to the good people of Lagos State, because our word is our bond.”

babapupa:

So terminating contracts for non performance and breaking terms of contract now means failure to bribe?

tpsolomons:

for lack of seriousness.

babapupa:


These sadists, irrational and disgruntled elements sure know how to make me laugh.

doyin13:

OAM4J:


Eko o niba je

temmytanny:

If you like say bribe or egunje. All i know is that the contractors dint perform at all cos they have been on the project since last year and not up 50% have been completed. If you live around the area, you wont carry your big mouth and conderm fashola's act. Even many staying in the area have been complaining about the contractor's attittude towards the road.

The cancellation would put other contractors on their toes to deliver.

You talk as if pre-qualification exercise was not conducted before this contract(s) was awarded in the 1st First. If only you know what it entails, then you will know better.

FYI, The contract was not cancelled for non- performance but for ''UNSERIOUSNESS''.

IF you believe that the contractor wil want to lose the performance bond (10% of the contract sum) attached to the contract then you need to have your head examined.

Your problem is your ''HEROIC WORSHIP'' of Fashola's corrupt stinking as$ss hole. You sound like his ACN cohort

~Bluetooth:

What did she meant by ''UNSERIOUSNESS'' ?

tpsolomons:

chosen04:

The BOLDED below is what i mean by ''UNSERIOUSNESS''

sperrysun:

@chosen04, U sound so obviously biased and disgruntled. The government has a responsibility to its citizens to ensure that written agreements are respected. FYI, successful technical pre-qualification does not guarantee the job being done on time. Every contract should have a time frame allocated for completing it, so,if a contractor deliberately flouts this pre-contract agreement ,the govt should sit back and do nothing? How come the affected contractor has not come to shout 'foul play'

chosen04:

sO YOU MEAN all the companies that applied and responded to the pre-qualification assements, its ONLY a company that is NON-PERFORMING that the government found worthy enough to award the contract of such serious nature to? if the intention was not for a company that will agree to her sharing formulea?

I work in a construction firm so i know how it works. . . . . .

Are you telling me that if you were the MD of Bulletin you will want to lose the (performance bond of 10% of the contract sum) attached to the agreement? due to unseriousness? even when your company is just entering the league of the ''Big boys'' in the construction industry?

Bros, Its all about after thought cover up. . . . . . .

For lack of seriousness? In giving Gov. Fashola and his cohorts their own share of the contract sum . . . . . . ?

So the story is true after all. I heard the contractor was penalised cos he refused to ''play ABIDE the game according to the rules of the SHARING FORMULEA''

SAINT FASHOLA AT HIS BEST INDEED!. I guess its cos he (THE CONTRACTOR) is starving them (FASHOLA & COHORTS) of projected revenue to use in financing they 2011 come back bid.

I DON'T BLAME YOU , SINCE YOU ARE NOT LIVING AROUND D EGBEDA-IKOTUN AREA TO SEE WHAT PEOPLE GO THROUGH EVERYDAY, TO AND FROM WORK . I LIVE IN THAT AREA AND PLIES THE SAID ROUTE EVERYDAY. HENCE I PERFECTLY UNDERSTAND THE WORD, '' UNSERIOUSNESS'' AS USED HERE. SO NEXT TIME YOU WANT TO CONTRIBUTE IN ANY FORUM OR THREAD PLEASE ALWAYS SHEATH YOUR SENTIMENT SO THAT PEOPLE CAN LEARN FROM YOU. PLEASE I BEG OF YOU.

PEACE 6TER!

omo-nla:

It just unfortunate that people jump into conclusion on what they know little or nothing about. Government dont just terminate your contract without warning on several occassion I know this cos I was in a meeting with Engr. Ganiyu Johnson yesterday where he warned by company and Brecco and gave us grace to improve our output. Fine he accepted that the government is owning us both asserted that our APG guaranteed that the bank we assist us with money when our money is not ready with the state. What am saying here is that if atall bribe will be collected from any contractor it will be before the contract is awarded not during the execution of project. In conclusion CONTRACT WILL NEVER BE TERMINATED WITHOUT BOTH WRITTEN AND VERBAL WARNINGS.
