ASABA—DELTA State governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, has said only contractors with proven track records of quality delivery on their jobs would be patronised by his administration.
The governor dropped the hint during an unscheduled inspection visit of the old Lagos/Asaba road, Agbor, weekend.
“When we see that your service is good with or without supervision and your project is going on according to specification, we will patronise you, the most important thing to us in Delta State is good and quality job,” he said.
The governor, who expressed satisfaction with the quality of job being done on the project, observed that the road construction had been on since 2009 and expressed hope that it would be completed before December 2016.
“I commend the contracting firm handling the job for a job well done. The quality of the job is obviously very good, the area they have constructed has no potholes, we want all our contractors to do good jobs,” Okowa said.
He frowned at the dumping of refuse at Orogodo River, stating that while silting was allowed as it goes with water through the drains, illegal dumping of refuse would not be tolerated in the state.
Meanwhile, the governor has called for wealth redistribution in Nigeria as a result of the dwindling revenue from oil resources.
Okowa, who spoke at St. Peter’s Anglican Church, Boji Boji Owa, during the 40th ordination anniversary of Rt. Revd. Peter Onekpe as Bishop, weekend, said his administration would place emphasis on pensioners getting their emoluments and catering for the poor in the society.
He stated that it was important for the rich in the society to be their brother’s keepers.
He said: “As we thank God today in the midst of the poverty challenges of the time, at the time when oil prices are down and governments are finding it difficult to pay salaries, it is a time for sober reflection.
‘’It is time to think about what next to do. How can I impact on the life of that person who is not able to eat when I have excess on my table?”
