James Agouye who is the Delta State Commissioner for Works, has threatened to prosecute any contractor that executes substandard road projects in the state.
The commissioner, who spoke in Asaba yesterday, said the certificate of completion would not be issued to any contractor for any project found to be substandard.
Aguoye also disclosed that Governor Ifeanyi Okowa had inaugurated the Projects Monitoring and Evaluation Team as a supervisory organ and approved the monitoring initiative of the Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) to convince detractors that it was no longer business as usual in the state.

“The Ministry of Works will not tolerate a situation where field, zonal officers and the monitoring and evaluation team will affirm poor road construction that failed specification test. Such jobs will not be certificated, even as such officers will be sanctioned,” he stated.
