Federal Government of Nigeria has frowned at contractors delaying power projects, saying such will not be taken lightly anymore.
Gatekeepers News reports that the Minister of Power, Abubakar Aliyu and Minister of State for Power, Goddy Jedy Agba gave the warning at a strategic technical competence and performance evaluation meeting with contractors in the power sector.
The Ministers said some major projects of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company, including the 330/132/33 kV line Lafia handled by AK-AY Energy are ready for commissioning in November.
Ofem Uket, media aide to the Minister of State for Power, in a statement, noted that ongoing power sector reforms of the federal government are hesitant to any form of sabotage and sub-standard jobs by contractors.
He said the AK- AY Energy had shown capacity in the execution of its projects with the NDPHC and the Transmission Company of Nigeria TCN.
The statement added that Federal Government urged contractors to be more dedicated in the execution of public infrastructure to get value for public expenditure.
