Akwa Ibom State Government has re-awarded the contract for the dualization of the 3.5km Ring Road 2 project from Olusegun Obasanjo Way to Udo Udoma, within a period of one year.
The contract which was handled by Quemecs Nigeria Ltd has been re-awarded to HENSEK Integrated Services with a charge that the contract be completed within one year.

The decision was taken during the State Executive Council meeting presided over by Governor Udom Emmanuel, Monday, at the EXCO Chambers, Government House,Uyo.

The Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Comrade Ini Ememobong, who briefed Government House correspondents after the meeting, said the Council approved additional works be done on the Abak Ifia-Ikpe Mbak Eyop-Ikot Abia Osom road that traverses Ikot Ikot Ekpene and Obot Akara Local Government Areas, as well as a revised Bill of Engineering Measurement and Evaluation for the Etebi-Ewang Road.

Said Ememobong, “Other businesses of the day were the receipt of reports on ongoing projects in the state, including the letting of the Dakkada Towers, Eket urbanization, the Dakkada Estate project, Ibom Plaza remodeling, the rehabilitation of hospitals and the power for all project.

Ememobong said the council directed that a strategic stakeholders meeting with the regulator and all players critical in the power sector be convened to ensure the execution and smooth take-off of the Power-for-all programme in December 2021.

On the Ibom Deep Seaport project, the Commissioner said reports on the citizens’ engagement which was undertaken by the joint committee of the State Executive Council, the Ibom Deep Seaport Implementation Committee, and the Oro people, in which the twin issue of name and location change of the Seaport was sufficiently addressed, with room for further deliberations to be undertaken.

The Council noted remarkable progress in the report on the Ibom Air Company Limited, which included a review of the company’s performance, in terms of projections, propositions and executions, over the period of its existence, Ememobong said, adding that the EXCO, after serious deliberations, approved the sustainability plan and expansion programme presented by the Company’s Management.

Also reached at the State EXCO, the Commissioner said, was State Government’s resolve to consolidate its investment in sports for better performance.

Following the report on the participation of the state’s athletes in the just concluded national sports festival in Edo State, where the state came 7th out of the 36 states, with 20 gold medals. The council was pleased with the performance of the athletes and commended the team.

On education, he said the Council reviewed the report of comparative analyses of the state’s year-to-year performance in final examinations presented by the Commissioner for Education, Mrs. Idongesit Etiebet, and noted a slight improvement.

The Council, however, was dissatisfied and charged the Ministry of Education and another critical stakeholder in the education sector to push for an increase in the percentage of passes.

The State Information Commissioner acknowledged the invitation of the State Government to the 2021 May Day celebration and assured that the state government will identify with the workforce in the Labour Day celebration

He however described the demonstration staged by next-of-kin of retired primary school teachers as misplaced, considering that verifications have been concluded and assurance given by the Chairman of SUBEB, Obong Paul Ekpo, on the commencement of payment.

He described as a large-hearted intervention Governor Udom Emmanuel’s decision to bear the burden of upsetting the decades-long unpaid benefits of retirees and the deceased.

The contract which was handled by Quemecs Nigeria Ltd has been re-awarded to HENSEK Integrated Services with a charge that the contract be completed within one year.

SportsHD:
someone didn't pay enough bribe.

MetroBaba1:
HENSEK is Akwa Ibom's Julius Berger.

We all understand their modus operandi

rottennaija:


It's not everything that is that bad. Sometimes, govt is sincere. If you have been to the site, you will know the contractor was incompetent.

Codes151:
Poor standard Governor.
Big mistake

rottennaija:


And their job is quality.

NtoAkwaIbom:


Which sincere, you knoe nothing,

For 6yrs udom has not completed a single project, all are just re-awarded up and down.

NtoAkwaIbom:



Which quality? We all understand its our own indigenous company, but see its the same thing with Dangote, Nigerians are being impoverished for dangote to be rich, same way Hensek gets alot of contracts and does not deliver either quality or on time. Mske udom dey carefull we go stone am, d guy na fuckupp

Ikpongiton:
are you sure that you are not blind? some body is working like a buldozer and you are there vomiting rubbish.you must be insane.

rottennaija:


HENSEK is doing a good job in Akwa Ibom. I understand he gets special treatment but he is also good. Extremely good.

NtoAkwaIbom:


Are you one of the people whose name was published by the governor to be under the role for payment,
Can you try to point to one single thing i am lying here? Udom is like Buhari, very useless product, you try to sell it and you sell your soul and conscience

Mopolchi:
Udom please complete the road

rottennaija:


I don't understand the idea that if I don't condemn what you condemn, then I must be somehow in a payroll. Yesterday, someone had to say I was a fulani slave, APC supporter etc just because I told her that by the time they had finished destroying their region in the name of biafra, they will be running to other places to be IDPs.

I don't support udom in anyway. If you check my previous post, you will have a clue. Quemecs was not delivering in their job nor was their work good.

NtoAkwaIbom:


Ikpa, nto akwa ibom, idung emana mmi,

Nnyin iba tongo ke editongo.
I cant lie, I am on ground, dispute me by mentioning the quality of the roads already completed by Hensek, thank you
