Fresh contracts which will be awarded to contractors with no outstanding jobs – Umahi
By Haruna Yusuf, Abuja
He made the comment while meeting with contractors of road projects across the country at the Ministry’s Conference Hall, Abuja.
Contractors in the ministry are awarded up to five contracts at a time even when they do not have sufficient equipment to undertake the projects.
Investigation conducted by the internal affairs found that in the last ten years, not up to five per cent of equipment for roads have been imported into the country.
This led Umahi to question how contractors are able to execute the contracts they are awarded by the ministry.
Umahi said, “Any contractor with four projects in the Ministry of Works, will not get another project from us until you finish the one you have.
