Minister of Works, David Umahi, on Sunday, gave the contractor handling the rehabilitation work on the Abia section of the Enugu-Port Harcourt Highway a 14-day ultimatum to perform to expectation or the contract would be terminated.
Umahi who made the threat in a statement issued by the ministry’s Director of Information, Olusola Abiola after an impromptu inspection of the work site, said the contractor, Messrs China Civil Engineering Construction, had performed poorly and had to sit up or be sacked.
“The Minister of Works has just directed a 14-day termination notice to Messrs China Civil Engineering Construction handling the Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway after using all due process on construction,” Abiola said in the statement.
