The
Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has expressed satisfaction with
the level of WORK done on the Woji-Akpajo Bridge.
The
Governor made his feelings known while inspecting the project.
“The
contractor is doing well. It doesn’t
matter which administration awarded the CONTRACT; it’s a major project that
would ease off traffic on Aba road and the slaughter to Woji Road so it’s an
Important Road and we commend the contractor for not demobilizing from site
despite the fact that he has not been paid for the past one year. I am very
happy with what has been done”, Governor Wike said.
Governor
Wike explained that the project is key to his administration and promised to
COMPLETE it within a space of time.
Earlier,
the contractor handling the project, Mr. Ellias of Raphael Nigeria Limited who
lamented the COMPANY has not been paid for over a year, disclosed that the
company has received only 68% of funds for the project that is more than 70%
completed.
The
project was awarded for the sum of N11,055,891,675, and the amount paid so far
is N7,035,511,282.34 .
The
Governor also inspected the Port Harcourt Shopping Mall started by Sir
Celestine Omehia to ascertain the level of WORK done and expressed readiness to complete the
abandoned mall within a space of three months.
