Gov. Siminialayi Fubara of Rivers has ordered the revocation of the Andoni section of Ogoni-Andoni-Opobo-Nkoro Unity Road project, due to slow pace of work by the contractor.

Mr Fubara gave the order in Andoni on Saturday, while inspecting the project alongside the Commissioner for Works, George Kelly and the chairman of Andoni Local Government Council, Erastus Awortu.

The governor said that it was regrettable that the contractor could only achieve about 45 per cent on the project despite receiving 100 per cent funding from the Wike administration.

“What I have seen here today leaves much to be desired, given that the immediate past administration had good intention for the people of Andoni.

“The last administration made so much commitment to the point of even making 100 per cent payment to ensure quick delivery of the project before the end of its tenure, unfortunately the contractor did otherwise.

“We are left with no option than to remove the big elephant behind the slow pace of work on this project just like President Bola Tinubu removed the big elephant behind fuel subsidy,” Mr Fubara said.

Consequently, the governor directed the commissioner of Works to immediately commence the process of revocation of the Project.

He has also directed that the project be re-awarded to a more competent contractor who would deliver timely and according to specifications.

The governor, however, assured that the Andoni Section of the Unity Road would be completed and commissioned within his first hundred days in office.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the Andoni section of the Ogoni-Opobo-Nkoro-Andoni Unity Road when eventually completed would further promote economy, civilisation and co-existence amongst local communities in the area.

The solution for the governor is to exempt himself from wikes political moves. He should remain calm and quiet....but continuation of old projects should be advised by his PAs. Like always...the virus is in and its in all you need is anti . Virus. Mono.Rail examples

This is always the mistakes that our greedy politicians carry with.


You monitor already planned projects and ensure adequate management of the provided resources.

While doing that, create new projects of your own.


Coming to end or sabotage the previous administration projects or efforts isn't going to make you a better person, but will halt the development process of the state.


Same way Tinubu is beginning to speak ill of Buhari's administration.... But never utter a word when we were criticizing the dullard... Why now?

Parachoko:
Will the company return back part of the money?

BigBlackPreek:
I like the part he said "Just as Jagaban removed the big elephant behind fuel subsidy"

This is promising from SIM Fubara

Continue from where Lord Wike ,Mr Project himself stopped

Ride on SIM!!!!

Always quick to write trash, he didn't revoke the contract to spite anybody. Did you even read the OP. That contract was awarded to uche secondus and almost 100% have been paid yet only 45% was executed, it has lingered for too long, uche secondus Is not in good terms with wike and he carted away with the funds for the project, the new governor is from that corridor and the best thing is for him to revoke and award to a new contractor to avoid a protracted court case.

You idiots have to always read to understand before you quote to spill trash. You ended up supporting my initial opinion. What a lame dude.
