The federal government may revoke the contract awarded to Bulletin Construction Company Limited to handle the construction of the section II of the Abuja-AbajiLokoja Federal road project. The construction firm had allegedly vacated the project site since December, 2017. The site commenced from Abaji-Kotonkarfi – Lokoja.
The Director of Highways Construction and Rehabilitation Department, Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing, Engr. Dayyabu Mamman, who briefed the Minister of State 11 from the ministry, Survey Hassan Zarma during an inspection, yesterday, decried the delay. He said that the project was giving the federal government sleepless nights, aside from numerous accidents recorded particularly on the section of the highway.
“There are so many accidents on this road and this is because of the delay in project execution. The staff left site since December last year and so it has been giving us a lot of sleepless nights, “Mamman said. Asked by the minister of what measure to take, he advised, “The project should be terminated by the federal government. For the past five months, they have not returned to site, so we have no other alternative than to terminate the contract.”
