Ambode Tells Contractors Handling 114 Road Projects To Deliver In 7 Days Or Be Sanctioned

Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State on Saturday urged contractors handling the 114 road projects in the state to speed up work or be sanctioned.
Ambode issued a similar ultimatum to Julius Berger and other contractors handling certain projects in some parts of Lagos.

Ambode, who was represented by his Deputy, Dr Idiat Adebule, made the call at the inauguration of one the roads in Ikorodu North Local Council Development Area of the state.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the government planned to inaugurate all the 113 roads between Sept.19 and Sept. 24.

Ambode commended the company, DC-Engineering Ltd., which handled the Jimoh Street project for completing the road within the stipulated six months.

“We have chosen to inaugurate the road here to appreciate the diligence and seriousness of the contractor for being the first to complete the project within the stipulated six months.

“I congratulate the contractor for this exemplary feat while I urge others to emulate the good example or face sanction,’’ he said.
