Kogi State government has expressed dissatisfaction with the slow pace of work on the Odenyi -Oguma- Sheria road and bridge construction project.
The Kogi State Commissioner for Works, Hon. Engr Mohammed Ahovi Yusuf, who was at Oguma in Bassa local government area of the state expressed dissatisfaction with the level of work during an inspection visit of the project.
Hon. Yusuf, who frowned at the lack of professionalism and lackadaisical attitude on the part of the contractor, said that the project had been stalled for a long time.
He therefore charged the contractor to expedite action on the project to complete it before the rainy season sets in.
Hon Yusuf emphasized the commitment of the state government and the determination of His Excellency, Alh Usman Ahmed Ododo, to deliver on its promises of alleviating the sufferings of the people in the area while assuring them that plans were in top gear to complete the work as soon as possible.
The transition committee chairman of Bassa local government, Mr Theophilus Adama, who appreciated the state government for the project, berated the slow pace of work and appealed to the government to facilitate the completion of the project.
Also, an indigene of the area, Comrade Dangara Daniel, commended the state government for the visit and requested the government to intensify efforts and ensure that the project was completed within a short period.
