Secretary of IRDC, Richard Omare Esq., on his part, stated: “For what we have seen, it is a commendable effort by the contractors. These are jobs awarded without mobilization (Normal APG). The contractors, have shown that they have the capacities for what they have done, by mobilizing funds from various sources, without IRDC’s assistance”.

A pivotal stakeholder in the NNPC/Chevron Nigeria Limited JV GMoU Governance Model, Dr. Jeffrey Wilkie, who was part of the inspection visit to Omadino, averred: “The work is commendable. We have 14 buildings of 2units bedroom, most of them are above 50%.

“This is a project handled by IRDC, if not for IRDC, we wouldn’t have this on ground. We still have challenges though, PRC (Project Review Committee of IRDC) was advised to visit and ascertain the jobs done so far, so that the contractors can have their payments. As far as I am concerned, IRDC is still the relevant agency for development of communities in the three Warris (Warri South, Warri South-West and Warri North Local Government Areas). We appreciate the efforts of the community (Omadino) and we want to thank the IRDC through the leadership of Mr. Itse Orugboh, for going this far”.

One of the contractors, who identified himself simply as Engr Oris, told This Newspaper: “I want to appreciate the IRDC committee. The project (the 14 buildings-estate) has gone far and they (IRDC leadership) have responded to us at the first milestone. I want to appeal for the second milestone or full payment to be made, to enable us achieve it and make them (IRDC exco) have good name for the project they are monitoring”.
