Peace Mediator Laud Umahi’s Commitment, Tasks Contractors Handling Federal Roads Projects

A Warri-Based Peace Mediator and Conflict Management Consultant, Mr. Chris Eriyamremu has commended Minister of Works, Engr. David Umahi for showing genuine efforts and commitment towards fixing bad Federal roads across the Country.

Eriyamremu, in a statement on Tuesday, in Warri, Delta State, said, “ I am commending the Minister of Works, Engr. David Umahi for his constant or regular inspection of ongoing federal roads projects and monitoring the Contractors handling the projects “

He also charged Contractors working on federal roads to understand the importance why the projects were awarded and should do the needful.

Eriyamremu further urged Contractors to make good use of the coming sun period or dry season to fast track their works and achieve significant progress.

According to him, the Minister is making sure the Federal Government gets value for the funds and the contracts awarded to contractors to fix Federal roads in the Country.

He said, “ The Federal Government through the Minister of Works, Engr. David Umahi, was doing it’s part by awarding the contracts and making funds available to Contractors. Nigerians are expecting the Contractors to also show commitment in executing their respective projects for timely completion”

The Community Relations and Development Consultant, praised Umahi for adopting reinforced Concrete pavement for execution of Federal roads projects, though costly, but this will guarantee lasting duration.

“ It is a good thing seeing the Honourable Minister of Works, Engr. David Umahi going around the Country inspecting and monitoring Federal roads projects and to see things for himself and what the Contractors are doing. I believe the era of abandoning awarded Federal roads projects was over under Engr. David Umahi”

Eriyamremu lamented that Nigeria has faced the challenge of lack of maintenance culture and abandoning of projects, leading to the infrastructure deficit in the country.
