Yobe revokes N280m contracts
GOVERNOR Bukar Abba Ibrahim of Yobe State has revoked the N280 million contract awarded to a contractor for the construction of Potiskum four township roads and drainage facilities.
The revocation was ordered at the weekend while the governor was inspecting the Potiskum township roads and drainage.
He lamented that the contractor had woefully failed to complete the project despite the down payment of 270 million, which is 90 per cent of the total sum of the contract agreed upon by government in 2001.
Irked with the poor performance and slow execution of projects in the state, the governor also ordered the revocation of the rehabilitation of the Mai Idris Road project awarded to another construction company.
With the revocation of the two contracts, he directed the state Ministry of Works to immediately take over the road projects that were revoked by the state government. The Ministry of Finance has also been directed to release N25 million to the Works Ministry for work to commence on the abandoned Potiskum township roads and drainage facilities.
