Contractors handling road projects in Imo State have been ordered back to site within 72 hours or have their contracts terminated.
Governor Uzodinma frowned at a situation where contractors who had collected mobilisation fees from Government abandoned projects.
This directive was given by Governor Hope Uzodinma in a release signed by his Chief Press Secretary/Media Adviser, Oguwike Nwachukwu.
He said: “This action is unjustifiable and totally unacceptable to the State Government. Dry seasons usually mark the peak of road construction works. Regrettably, the affected contractors have absconded from site in the peak of the dry season even after collecting mobilization fees from Government.”
