Umahi, who revealed the cause for the termination of contract in a statement on Sunday, had expressed disappointment in the contractors after he had gone to the site to inspect the ongoing work and found that the contractors had failed to return to site to perform their duties.
The statement, which was released by Umahi’s Special Adviser on Media, Orji Uchenna Orji, read, “The Honourable Minister, who was in the company of the Acting Controller of Rivers and Abia States, has therefore directed the Acting Controller of Rivers State to follow due process and issue a 14-day Termination Notice to the contractor. It is his further directive that the failure of the contractor to mobilize adequately to the site within the period of the 14 days Notice, the contract shall be terminated.
