Group Seeks Contract Award For Members
Contractors, under the umbrella of Rivers State Indigenous contractors Association (RSICA) has called on the state Government to consider its members in the awards of contracts.
The Chairman of the Association, Mr. Emmanuel Ordu, made the call in Port Harcourt Monday while addressing newsmen.
Ordu said the call became imperative after a careful observation of some contracts executed in the state in recent times.
He, however, did not condemned the projects executed so far, but said that his members would have done a better deal considering their experience in the Engineering field.
The RICA boss, pointed out that his team pay more attention to prompt delivery and quality job with modern engineering design noting that the body has trained engineers in various fields, as quack engineers are not accepted in RICA as members.
Ordu, regretted that its members still lack jobs even with their high level of professional training, saying that the proper engagement of his members will end the era of expatriates in the state.
“We have enough well-trained personnels that can end the era of expatriates in the state when fully utilised”, he said.
Another unique feature of the group, according to him, is the execution of projects with the appropriate specification which he said is the major challenge in job delivery. He also called on the Amaechi-led government to renew what he described as Public Relation (PR) contracts enjoyed by previous administration, saying that it was a lot of encouragement for his members.
About their relationship with the present government, he said it is cordial. He called on contractors in the state to ensure that they deliver their jobs according to specification.
Meanwhile, he has lauded governor Amaechi for the appointment of Hon. Victor T. Giadom as the Commissioner for Works, as he urged him (Giadom) to bring his wealth of experience to bare in the ministry so as to take it to enviable height.
