Which balls does Tinubu have?

Why has he not used those balls and will to fix the inflation he instigated?

Why has he not used those balls and will to tackle bandits, corruption and to live in his salary?

LWKM ,Umahi is making things difficult for himself,since you are adamant that review of contract will not be allowed under you.You want company to continue doing work with old price knowing well that price of materials is not the same as what is obtainable in 2012.You also treating Berger and CCECC with your termination,we will see who go do the work.

They were awarded the contracts in 2012. Asking for a review / more funds after 12 good years makes absolutely no sense because what they got in 2012 should have been enough to complete the projects if they had the will.

Edo no be Lagos used to be your usual slogan so continue defend impunity and corruption because you want to score cheap political point.
That old man Tony Anenih was the first person who was fully paid to construct that axis he said it was for rehabilitation under the cover of Obj and Stella.
Just continue to enjoy the results of your kind of politics .

OFFICE OF THE HONOURABLE MINISTER OF WORKS

PRESS RELEASE
1st July 2024

FG TERMINATES CONTRACTS WITH MOTHERCAT, DANTATA & SAWOE AND RCC COMPANIES FOR NON-PERFOMANCE ON THE DUALIZATION OF OBAJANA-BENIN ROAD; SECTIONS II, III AND IV, WARNS THAT GOING FORWARD, ALL FUNDED BUT NON PERFORMING CONTRACTS SHALL BE TERMINATED

1. The Federal Ministry of Works has terminated contract numbers 6136, 6137 and 6138 with Mothercat Ltd, Dantata & Sawoe Construction Ltd and RCC Ltd respectively. The projects affected by this termination are the dualization of Obajana - Benin road, section II (Okene - Auchi) in Kogi/Edo State; the dualization of Obajana - Benin road, section III (Auchi - Ehor) in Edo State and the dualization of Obajana - Benin road section IV (Ehor - Benin) in Edo State.

2. The termination of the said contracts became neccessary in view of the inordinate delay of the affected companies in job performance and their failure, neglect and or refusal to fulfill their contractual obligations as required by the Standard Conditions of Contract and this has affected the timely completion of the projects and thus resulted in the expiration of the contracts by effluxion of time. The projects which were awarded on 3rd December 2012 were advertently abandoned by the contractors and no genuine commitment or good faith was shown towards executing the projects after accepting the considerations offered by the Federal Government and thereby exposing the road users to untold hardship due to the deplorable condition of the projects.

3. The Honourable Minister has therefore directed the engineers in charge to take necessary steps to enter upon both the site and the works and take the same over from the affected companies. He further directs the engineers concerned to, upon doing the needful, arrange with the affected companies for a joint measurement of work so far done by the said companies preparatory to taking over the sites from the said companies, and this directive is without prejudice to the exercise of other rights of Federal Government under the contract.

4. He warns that the Federal Ministry of Works under his watch will not condone acts of unseriousnes and sabotage by contractors whose plan is to become a clog in the wheel of progress of the Renewed Hope administration which is determined to change the ugly narrative of Nigeria's road infrastructure. He further warns that going forward, the government will not hesitate in terminating all projects that are funded but are non-performing.

The contracts were awarded by Saint Goodluck Azikwe in 2012

I used that road for some years until I stopped traveling on that road in 2020 and the road contract on that axis was not suspended.....infact benin-kogi road wasn't suspended, they were just slow during buhari administration,very slow. I am even surprise they were paid money for the sections so I don't know why they were slow......

some contactors purposely delay jobs to ask for review and most times Fg always pay them upfront for big jobs,this is why I like wike,he will pay the full money and that contractor must finish the job.

Eriokanmi:
He'd be handled same way come 2027. He's not wise at all. Why terminate the contractors of Northern origins operations but awarded the Costal road project to his company, hitech even at triple the original cost? In politics, you counterbalance all sides. Anyway, he knows he's not coming back. The handwriting is clear with his biased policies

Stop this foolishness na.cant you be truthful for once

When will FG cancel itself for perpetual failure?

OALandAgents:
Berger are one of the worst non-performers

Pay Berger their full money...they will never delay your project..Wike and akwa ibom government are living witness..most of the remarkable projects executed by JB in the 90s was because the government of the day were serious in constructing them and paid substantially if not full...not now adays were they will be funding it bit by bit..this methode frustrates the processing of constructing due to inflation which is always on the rise.

Depriest2020:
I don't know why it's always difficult for companies to work on roads in Edo state, Edo state has the worst Federal road in the whole of the 36 states.

Edo state has produced two ministers of works from 1999. Yet the roads weren't built.
Please don't tell me the contractors were not paid, they were paid that's why FG have to terminate their contracts for non performance.

PDP was a curse to the entire SS & SE. Remember how Benin used to be an eyesore up till 2007 when lucky was defeated by Oshiomole. Till Date that road from ekpoma to auchi all the way to kogi is in a state. Very evil politicians that need to be eliminated for our state's to be better

How far did they go with the old price?
This is 13 years after mobilisation bro.

Notherrns would come out soon for protest to support Dantata. Anything that happened to their brothers na to personalise with tribal Matter.

Charmingrascal:
Lol


Soon to be awarded to the Adebayos, Otedolas and nothing wey anybody fit do about it



Awa lokan!

there's nothing bad about that if they are up to the task.
Can you read that this project was awarded since 2012?

001Lagos:
When will the FG cancel self from our political space for being failure, corrupt and wasteful

Some comments on this space are very pathetic

Please Hon. Minister of works sir Ọrẹ and Ijebu ode, Sagamu road has become den for kidnappers due bad road been handled by RCC but abandoned. SOS

Sub- standard work will not be accepted.

First they overcharge and then they work slow delaying is part of their strategy for scamming us. Other serious contractors complete projects but Berger will be delaying and then start asking for project price to be reviewed upwards and started going back and forth using the disagreement about the contract price to cause even more delays.
Hence Minister of Works Engr Umahi has been calling them out in recent months about their delay tactics on many projects they are handling and ordering them to return to site.

It's time to bring in their own looters contractors.

That okene benin road is fucking atrocious my God. The fact that they've allowed that shît to rot for years is despicable.

Tell the FG to fund 80% or full..

Berger doesn't overcharge. They just have standard when handling projects.

That is why FG consult their services for big and priority projects.

You can't pay JB full or 80% and they will delay your project.. go and read their history in Nigeria and stop spewing inaccurate statements.

Check out their delievery date for majority of the flyovers in rivers and check again if wike didn't pay 75%. Check again when they delivered akwa ibom stadium and find out if Akpabio didn't fund them well..

Check again in the 90s, warri port, rehabilitation of the niger bridge, ajaokuta bridge, carter bridge and many more.

The government of the day are not serious in funding projects seriously simple.

Every road contract awarded by the Jonathan administration were either suspended or terminated upon buhari coming into office

Kindly take note of the highlighted.

Pls what does it mean for something to be suspended?

Was there any ongoing work on the roads in question in 2015?
