State Government has directed all contractors, handling road projects in the state, to go back to their different sites as the rains have subsided.
The Commissioner for Works, Engineer Marcel Ifejiofor, gave this directive at the end of a meeting with Contractors, Consultants, Engineers, Representatives and the management staff of the Ministry of Works in his office in Awka.
Engineer Ifejiofor noted that work slowed down on road construction because of the rainy season.
According to him, now that the rains are over, massive construction of roads would re-commence effectively.
The Commissioner emphasised that because of heavy rains and flooding that occurred this year, the contractors would have so much work to do.
He, however, urged them to put in the best to guarantee business dealings with the state, stressing that shoddy works would not be tolerated.
The Commissioner told the consultants and the engineers representing state government interests to be alive to their responsibilities to avoid lapses.
He added that henceforth, every design must follow an assessment template from the state road design committee.
One of the contractors and the traditional ruler of Umueri, Igwe Ben Emeka, re-assured that the contractors would work hard according to specifications and expectations of the government and people of the state.
