The Federal Government has issued a stern warning to road contractors across the country, emphasizing the urgency of mobilizing to their respective project sites or facing the termination of their contracts.
This directive comes amidst growing concerns over the delays and setbacks affecting numerous road construction and rehabilitation projects nationwide.
The Minister of Works, who conveyed this message, underscored the government’s commitment to infrastructure development as a critical component of national growth and development.
He pointed out that several road projects, which are vital for economic activities and the movement of goods and services, have been stalled due to contractors’ failure to mobilize to the sites promptly.
In a recent meeting with stakeholders, the minister reiterated that the government will not tolerate any further delays.
Contractors are expected to adhere strictly to the timelines and deliverables stipulated in their contracts. The minister highlighted that the administration has made significant budgetary allocations for road infrastructure and expects contractors to fulfill their obligations without excuses.
