Delta State Government has vowed to
blacklist and persecute any contracting firm whose project does not stand the
test of time.
The state Commissioner for Works, James
Augoye, who stated this at a meeting with contractors in the state, told
contracting firms to take their jobs seriously, reiterating that their jobs
must not fail within their agreement period with the state government.
Urging them not to compromise
standard even when under pressure from supervising engineers, Augoye said
shoddy jobs would be seen as sabotaging efforts of the Governor Ifeanyi Okowa’s
administration towards ensuring better lives for all Deltans.
Meanwhile, the state government has
given farm tank owners two weeks ultimatum to get more fire service trucks and
set up a taskforce to monitor the activities of truck drivers outside
their loading stations to guide against selling and spilling diesel on the
road.
Issuing the ultimatum during a
meeting with tank farm owners in Warri South Local Government Area on how to
synergize on maintaining and decongesting traffic caused by heavy duty trucks
plying the NPA Expressway, Shagwolo, Ubeji and Ode Itsekiri axis, Augoye and
his counterpart in the Ministry of Transport, Vincent Uduaghan, said the
meeting became a necessity following the recent fire outbreak that destroyed
property worth millions of naira at the Shagwolo/Ubeji road axis.
They said the safety of the
residents of the area was paramount, instructing the tank farm owners to
get their own tankers park and desist from parking on the roads and bridges.
