Delta State Commissioner for Works, (Highways and Urban Roads) Comrade Reuben Izeze, Friday paid an unscheduled inspection visit to Sector A of the Ughelli-Asaba road dualization project.
Izeze, who was at the Oleh roundabout axis of the road project to monitor the progress of work, restated government’s commitment to getting the job done as quickly as possible.
The Works Commissioner explained that inspection visit to project sites would be a continuous exercise to ensure that contractors handling the projects were on site.
He stated that the visits would not only enhance speed of works on the projects, but also ensure that standards were maintained in line with global best practice and the BOQ.
The Commissioner restated government’s commitment to completing the Ughelli-Asaba dualization project, saying that the high vehicular traffic on the expressway made it expedient to get the job done.
Izeze charged the contractor to keep to specifications contained in the bill of the engineering measurement and evaluation, as the Ministry would not compromise quality and was determined to ensure value for money.
Comrade Izeze, who commended the pace of the ongoing construction work, however, charged the contractor to move faster, urging the firm to take advantage of the incoming dry season to achieve good milestones and deliver the project without further delay.
The Commissioner, who was conducted round by officials of Levant Construction Company, handlers of the project, said the state government would keep to it part of the bargain.
Comrade Izeze had on Tuesday, inspected the sector C of the Asaba-Ughelli dualization project, where he urged the contractor, CCECC, to expedite work on the project and get the job completed.
He said the state Governor, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, had expressed concern over the delay in completing the project, which linked several communities across the three senatorial districts of the state.
Accompanied by some top government officials in the Ministry of Works, Izeze, a former member of the State Assembly, expressed satisfaction on the quality of work being executed by the construction company.
