The Enugu state Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Gerald Otiji, has issued a 20-day ultimatum to the construction companies to speed up all the ongoing phase one road projects across the state by mobilising for day and night work.
He warned that failure to meet the deadline given to them would attract sanctions in line with the laws of the land and their contract terms.
The move followed the directive of Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State insisting that all ongoing urban road projects must be completed immediately, the
He threatened that companies that were unable to meet up with their targets would be blacklisted and therefore wouldn't be able to secure any subsequent jobs in the state.
Engr. Gerald issued this warning on Tuesday when he inspected some of the road construction sites in the state capital, stressing that completion deadlines remained sacrosanct.
He, however, commended some of the engineering firms that had already completed their jobs. They include contractors that handled the Phone Village Road, Fire Service, New Haven Market Road, College Road, Dayspring/Lagos Street, Police College, Agbani Road, among others.
He said the governor was determined to ensure that all roads are connected to ease movement of persons and goods.
Speaking at the Premier Layout, Enugu, the Commissioner warned that contractors had no excuses for the delay in some of the projects since the government had already paid them.
“We are making it very clear that it is unacceptable to our government the slow pace at which some of these construction firms are going with their works. Even though they have been doing impressive quality job, we want them to double their efforts and deliver within time.
“I have just reminded them the consequences of not meeting up with the timeline pegged for them at the inception of the contract. We have paid them. So, they have no excuses to make.
"We will be tracking their progress daily because I have instructed them for daily report.
“Let me quickly commend those that have already completed their jobs. We have visited some of the roads, and both the government and the people of the state are impressed with the good jobs on the ground. We have been receiving feedbacks from road users and residents across the state extolling the projects.
“Gentlemen, you just witnessed my conversations with these contractors, and the ultimatum given to them. They have promised to commence doing these works both day and night. Don’t forget that the governor promised the people of urban renewal, access roads, ease of doing business through infrastructural revolution. That is what we are seeing today in the state.
"The governor has already declared a state of emergency on the area of infrastructure, and on our part, we must ensure the administration achieves everything contained in the Social Contract with our people,” the commissioner further said.
He called on the people to join the governance process through monitoring the process activated by the government by ensuring they report acts of sabotage, vandalism and suspected attempt to subvert the peace of the state through any of the channels of communications made available by the government.

Posted on Sep 07, 2024 at 01:48 PMEthical Leadership Centre, Enugu recognising visionary leadership is certainly a milestone towards 'making excellence the norm'. Big thanks to Chief Ben Etiaba for his tireless effort to improve our society and it's pillars.
Posted on Sep 10, 2024 at 09:51 AMYes Rangers! Our darling team was the hope of everyone across the niger to get thrilled and be happy. Rangers was the binding wire that bound the faith of the IGBO MAN together. Because the Igbos does not believe in anybody, rather the Igbo-man believes in self and God. He believes in what he can do for himself and others. Otherwise, how could a people in a war situation be cut off from outside world, they were not getting relief materials from the world bodies, no ammunition and the rest, and things got most trying and difficult. But in such horrible state of life, the IGBO-MAN produce the great bomb fondly called (Ojukwu bucket or Ogbunigwe) that destroys and kills in multiple folds, produced fighter jets which they used during the war, the Igbo-man produced his own fuel both for aviation and automotive uses. The Igbo-man started live again after the war with just twenty pounds only and excelled beyond imagination. Rangers FC was a reincarnated spirit of Igbo-man, that of course was the reason Rangers took over the football sphere in Nigeria shortly after it was founded in early 70's. Well let me come back before I go adrift Rangers International FC. I appreciate my brother Chief Ben Etiaba "Ifennia" founder Ethical Leadership Center Enugu, for the good job he is doing , especially in fishing out our men and women of substance who has paid their dues in their different callings and honouring them duly. Finally, my Congratulations goes to Dr. Joseph Ugboaja the Chief Medical Director Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi for his milestone achievement so far at NAUTH. I also congratulate the young enterprising Director of Rangers management board chief Ugboaku for his visionary leadership and achievements. God bless you all, and let the flame keep burning!
