According to Umahi, the reason for the termination was for non-performance. He also vowed that the Federal Government would no longer tolerate contractors, who deploy delay tactics to escalate construction costs.
He made these known during an inspection tour to monitor work progress at the Ozuaku section of the Enugu- Port Harcourt expressway after the Imo bridge.
He said, “I’ve just directed that they should issue them 14 days termination notice using all due process on construction. After 14 days, if they fail to do what we have asked them to do, then we will have to do the termination notice.”
