Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, has promised to probe the contracts awarded by the past administration, with the aim of recovering public funds spent on such projects.
The Governor made the vow on Wednesday when he met with the contractors at the glass hall of the Government House in Lokoja, the state capital in north-central Nigeria.
He decried that the rate at which the contracts were abandoned were alarming and unacceptable, warning that the state government would not tolerate such any longer.
āNot Fair Enoughā
The Project Director of Designa Consult, Mr Jimoh Abdulwahab, who went round the projects site in the three senatorial district of the state, read out his findings to the meeting.
Mr Abdulwahab also made emphasis on the Lokoja Mini Terminal, which was built and commissioned by the last administration.
However, the Managing Director of Planet Project Limited, Biodun Otunola, expressed displeasure with the findings which he termed ānot fair enoughā.
The aim of the meeting was to re-activate the projects across the state, with a hope that the Governorās decision would enhance accountability and give the people of Kogi State a better life.
One after the other, the contractors gave reasons for abandoning the projects they handled, stating the challenges they went through.
