We’ll Not Tolerate Sabotage Of Andoni Road Project -Fubara …Seeks Stakeholders’ Support To Deliver Project In 12 Months

Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has warned that his government will not tolerate any act of sabotage against the smooth execution of the re-awarded Andoni Road project in Andoni Local Government Area of the State.
Fubara, in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media, Boniface Onyedi, gave the warning during a meeting with Andoni stakeholders and leaders at the Government House, Port Harcourt, yesterday.
Addressing the Andoni leaders led by the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Prof. Zacchaeus Adagor, the governor decried lack of commitment on the part of the former contractors (Raffoul Nigeria Ltd) handling the projects after the agreeable contractual terms had been paid, leading to the revocation and re-award of the project to a new contractor, Monier Construction Company (MCC).
According to him, “About two years ago, the immediate past Governor of Rivers State, Chief Barr. Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, held a meeting with Andoni leaders and the contractors to work out modalities for smooth implementation of the project. There was a contractual review and the money was paid by the government, but it’s so unfortunate that there wasn’t any progress on the project by the contractors, it pains us as a government that a project paid for 90% is re-awarded.
The governor disclosure that the said 30% of the new contract sum has been paid to the new contractors, MCC, and urged the people of Andoni to give the necessary support to the new contractors to complete the project within the next 12 months, noting that the project will expand economic development of the area.
Speaking on behalf of the Andoni stakeholders, the Okanama, Ikuru and Chairman Andoni Council of Traditional Rulers, King Aaron Miller Ikuru, thanked the governor for his commitment towards the execution of the road project and assured the support of the people to contractors to deliver the project on specified time.
