The Governor of Delta state has talked tough on top civil servants who supervise contractors and make deals so as to allow shoddy jobs fly.

Read what Gov. Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori said in his meeting with top civil servants in the state….

“You connive with contractors to do bad jobs. You promise contractors that you will review their contracts for them; do you have powers to do reviews?

“You also want to be a contractor. You award a contract to a contractor and you want to do the drainage attached to the road. You, who is supposed to be a Site Engineer. So, who will supervise the contractor?

“You go further to issue certificates for jobs badly done. This is very bad. I want to do well and I need you to do well, too. Another thing I also see that is bad is you people approving projects that are bigger than some small villages.

“How do you approve four blocks of six classrooms each for a village with less than one hundred people? Why not take the project to where it can be fully utilised?

“When I go for inspections and see bad jobs, I talk unlike you. Almost 80% of the jobs are given to indigenous contractors”, the governor stated.
