Call Erring Contractors To Order-Works Minister Charges FERMA.

By Jabiru Hassan, Kano.

The Honourable Minister of State, Federal Ministry of Works, HMSW, Mohammed Bello Goronyo Esq, has charged the Managing Director/ CEO of Federal Emergency and Roads Maintenance Agency, (FERMA), to warn contractors who fail to deliver on their contract awards to desist.

He said the era of abandoning projects is over. These contracts are awarded and paid through the tax payers money who desire value for their money.

The list of defaulting Contractors must be made available to the Headquarters not later than next week. He also proposed the need for a strongTechnical Committee that will criss- cross the country to monitor FERMA projects with a view to ascertaining the quality of their deliveries.

The Honourable Minister made these remarks on Monday 2nd November, 2024, during his familiarisation tour of the South West section of FERMA, where the State Coordinators made presentations before the HMSW on the progress, challenges and expectations in the cause of the discharge of their duties.

Goronyo commended the Federal Road Management Engineers, ( FRME), from the SouthWest States, assuring them that all issues raised will be looked into to make FERMA great and successful.

He was quick to add that though the challenges are real, huge and enormous, they are not insurmountable.

“The country must tighten up its belt and combat the challenges frontally. We have been drawing from a well without water for so long. We now have a President who is willing to face the challenges head on without complaining.

We must be ready to support one another and do things differently. We must all support His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to deliver on his mandate.” He remarked.

The HMSW pledged to pay unscheduled visits to contract sites to have a first hand knowledge of the commitment of contractors to projects, while also assuring that Staff Welfare is a paramount issue of concern which will not be toyed with.
