Ministry of Works in a memo (NR 14185/4/VOL.T/59) dated November 18 copies of which were made available to newsmen yesterday, advised Governor Ngige to first seek and obtain the "explicit approval of President Olusegun Obasanjo before he can award such contract." Dr. Ngige was recently reported to have concluded plan to award contract for the rehabilitation of the popular Zik roundabout at Nkpor junction Onitsha as well as the Nkpor-Nnobi road.

According to him, the governor needed to carry out engineering design of the roads to meet the ministry�s standards.
