The construction sites visited by the Special Adviser and his team of experts includes: the Re-innovation of six classroom blocks at Omu Boys Primary School, Igbuzor; construction of Aruabor/Ejebe road extension link road of Olomoro road, Oleh in Isoko South local government area, construction of Orere-Ewu bridge,at Ewu, Ughelli South local government, Construction of Uti road in Uvwie and construction of 4.2km road at Opete in Udu local government area of the state.
Addressing newsmen at the Orere-Ewu bridge in Ughelli South, Agbi commended the company for the good work they are doing and making the corrections earlier identified during the last visit by the Governor.
He said; “ Your work according to the Governor is Okay the last time he came. We can see the beams of the bridge, which is good. The weep holes that brought us here specifically has been taken care of, so we want to thank you for the work you are doing and as the Governor mentioned the last time, try to expedite the work so that by October/ November you would have finished this aspect.”
” We also noticed that you are already working on the approach road the earth work is ongoing, we want to appreciate you for that”.
At Uti and Opete respectively, Agbi also thanked the contractor, Roadwell construction company, for the good job they were doing, especially the quality of the work.
He said; “we want to thank you for the good work you are doing. We can see the quality of job you are doing here. we saw the one at Uti road, and we know that you have always been delivering excellent jobs.”
The situation was however, different at Igbuzor where the special Adviser lamented the poor work carried out on the rehabilitation of the six classroom blocks, where he insisted that the contractor will have to revisit the project.
In his words; “We have gone round the school and we can see a very bad work. The ceiling is very bad, no writing board and they painted an unrenderd surface. The painting is not the standard of the MORE AGENDA of the state governor. We have been to several schools that the Governor is renovating, but this one is worse.”
“The contractor will have to revisit the project because government cannot accept this. We cannot see any good thing. The windows are not tagged and not welded. The Governor provided the means for the contractor do good work, and a good learning environment for the pupils, but the contractor is not around to give an explanation for this shoddy job.”
