Kwara pays N2.4b to contractors handling road projects
The Kwara State Government says it has paid about N2.4 billion to contractors handling over 35 road projects spread across the state.
Alhaji Aro Yahaya, the state Commissioner for Works and Transport, stated this on Friday in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, after inspecting some of the projects. Yahaya said the contractors were paid in order to hasten the completion of the projects before the commencement of the rains.
According to him, contractors handling road projects in llesha-Gwanara, Share OkeOde, Offa-lra and Erinlle-llemona roads had earlier received part payment.
The commissioner said part payments were also made to contractors handling Arandun-Aranorin-Rore, Kpada-Patigi, Adua Lere, University of llorin mini campus, Henry George and Arbadi-Megida roads, among others. The commissioner, who said that the contractors were now on sites, urged them to respect the contractual agreements.
Yahaya warned that the state government would not hesitate to revoke contracts that failed to meet specifications.
Yahaya reaffirmed the determination of the state government to ensure that all roads in the state were motorable in spite of lean resources.NAN
