Ahmed Threatens to Revoke Contracts
Worried by the slow pace of work embarked upon by the contractors handling various projects in Kwara State, the state governor, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed, Wednesday threatened to revoke the contracts without further delay.
Ahmed disclosed this to journalists in Ilorin yesterday after paying unscheduled visit to Offa General Hospital undergoing rehabilitation, Amberi Water Booster Station, Erin-Ile-Ilemona Road and Irra Road, all in Kwara South senatorial district of the state.
He said it was disheartening that the contractors handling the projects was working behind time despite the state government’s financial commitment to them.
He therefore advised contractors who are unable to meet timeframe for the completion of the projects in relation to funds released to them to either be more proactive or have such contracts revoked.
At the Offa General Hospital rehabilitation project, the governor, who was happy with the level of work done, assured the people of the community that the hospital would be equipped with new equipment to enhance healthcare delivery in the area.
He assured the people to embrace peace with a pledge that his administration has youth-friendly programmes designed to engender job creation and empowerment.
"The youths should always bear it in mind that peace is essential for the attainment of progress and development in any society," he said.
Ahmed assured the people of Ajasse-Ipo in Irepodun local government area that with the completion of Amberi water booster station, water challenges in the town will soon become a thing of the past.
He therefore appealed to the people of the state to continue to support the government in the task of moving the state forward.
