Speaking during separate meetings with hundreds of contractors and the ministry’s engineers in Abuja, Umahi stated that there was also little or no monitoring of projects by either directors or controllers, thereby resulting in shoddy jobs nationwide.
The minister who underscored the need for transparency in the award and variation of contracts, explained that he will not sign any final certificates if full explanations were not given on how for instance a N20 billion contract suddenly rose to N120 billion.
