The Federal Government has revoked the contract for the reconstruction of Ajaokuta-Itobe-Okene highway in Kogi State. The government decision was made public Saturday by the Federal Controller of Works in the state, Engineer Kajogbola Olatunde while speaking with newsmen shortly an assessment of the Ajaokuta-Itobe Bridge which was alleged to have suffered structural defect.

Engineer Olatunde said the contract was revoked due to underperformance by the firm handling the project, Scoa Motors.

He said the contract would be rewarded to a more competent contractor. He said the federal government was unhappy with the slow pace of work by the contractor even after he was being adequately mobilized.

The Controller pointed out that the contractor has shown little competence to handle such magnitude of work and that the federal government in response to concerns of commuters have no option than to rearward it to a more competent contractors.

On the Ajaokuta-Itobe Bridge, he said it has not suffered structural defects but vandalisation of the electrometric rubbers covering the expansion joints.

That was how the ineffectual buffoon gave our electricity distribution companies to some Catastrophic investors who do not have enough money to buy ordinary pre - paid meters.

FG revokes Itobe-Ajaokuta-Okene highway contract

Awarded under the administration of former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, the 60km Itobe-Ajaokuta-Okene Road has suffered setback in the hands of the contractor, subjecting motorists to suffering of unimaginable degree.

Kogi State Governor, His Excellency Yahaya Bello has made countless visits to the minister of Power, Works and Housing, lamenting the snail speed approach of the contractor handling this particular road that has caused untold hardship to the commuters.

It was disclosed on Friday, that the Federal Government has revoked the contract for the reconstruction of this highway in Kogi State.
The controller explained that the contract to reconstruct the 60 km highway was signed in 2015 to Scoa Motors but lamented that after five years, no substantial work was done which necessitated the government to withdraw the contract.

This, and all other federal roads in Kogi state will be taken care of under the current administration.
