Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, has ordered the arrest of the contractor handling Okposi-Umuoghara-Ebiaji Road in Ezza North Local Government Areafor doing a poor work as against government specifications after collecting N200 million as mobilisation fee.

Umahi, who gave the order while inspecting the roadat Okposi-Umuoghara alsodirected thataMinistry of Works official, Engr. Solomon Eze, be suspended for two monthsfor lack of proper supervision of the project.

An angry Umahi toldhis ADC, Jonathan Bawada,to ensure that the two officials of the company who were on the ground were handedover to the Police for prosecution.

He describedthe workof the contracting firm, Tonando Nigeria Ltd., as very deceitful and fraudulent, warning that government would not take it lightly with any contractorplayingon the intelligence of the state government.

In an interview, the state Commissioner for Works and Transport, Engr. Fidelis Nweze, saidthe companydid less than twokilometres of earthworkwith poordrainage.

Nweze said: “We frown so much at that act because thecontractor is supposed to have achieved a minimum 40 % of that job. What we saw on ground was less than 10% of the job.

“We are not happy about it. And on that note, we have suspended the Engineer supervising the job from the ministry for two months for not briefing the Ministry and government accordingly.

“Wewe will be approaching the court for justice.”
