Okowa said;
“Due to the contractor’s slow work rate, earlier today, at the Delta State Executive Council, we terminated the contract of the Construction Company that is working on the Ayakoromo bridge in Burutu Local Government Area.
“Our priority is to leave behind a #StrongerDelta, therefore, all MDAs and contractors that are executing government policies, programs and projects must do so with the understanding that timelines and deliverables must always be met.
“I am optimistic that over the next few weeks, following due process, we will find a new contractor that can complete the project as soon as possible.”
