Few days after the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) requested that its contractors come back to project site, Governor Godwin Obaseki has given a counter mandates to the contractors requesting them to stop work instantly.
Obaseki had in March said his administration would not permit NDDC execute any activities in the state without meeting the state's specifications and plans.
In a press statement marked by Secretary to the State Government, Barr. Osarodion Ogie, the NDDC contractors were given seven days to present the outline drawings, Bill of Engineering Measurement and Evaluation of their separate tasks to the State Ministry of Works.
As per the announcement, "No NDDC contractor is permitted by the state government to resume work until their
outlines and archives are investigated and guaranteed by the Technical Committee set up by the legislature in such manner."
Commissioner of NDDC in Edo, Mr. Saturday Uwulekhue, in his response said the mandate was to change the accounts, the negatives stances of the NDDC as regard execution of terrible and substandard jobs in the state.
Uwulekhue noticed that piece of the Act setting up the NDDC was that the commission ought to actualize measures set up by part states.
He expressed that any contractors whose plans and specifications did not meet the state necessity would backpedal and upgrade them to be in accordance with the state masterplan.
As indicated by him, "We are ready to guarantee the best possible thing is finished. We need everything to be done as determined in the Bill of Quantity. It is not for a contractor to come to Edo and do terrible jobs as they did in Erediauwa, Amagba street and others. On the off chance that the State is setting up measures to adjust the ills of NDDC, I am not against it.
"We have more than 300 projects in the state and few have been finished. NDDC has issue with usage and execution. The contractors generally play brilliant amid execution of projects."
