Federal Government Terminates Contracts With RCC, Others Due To Poor Performance.

The Federal Government has terminated its contracts with Mothercat, Reynolds Construction Company (RCC) , and Dantata & Sawoe due to non-performance on sections two, three, and four of the Obajana-Benin road dualisation project.

The Minister of Works, David Umahi, made this known in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Uchenna Orji, on Monday in Abuja.

Umahi stated that the contracts were terminated due to delays leading to the expiration of the contracts, which were awarded on Dec. 3, 2012.

“The Federal Ministry of Works has terminated contract numbers 6136, 6137, and 6138 with Mothercat Ltd, Dantata & Sawoe Construction Ltd and RCC Ltd respectively.

”The projects affected by this termination are the dualisation of Obajana – Benin road and section II, (Okene – Auchi) in Kogi/Edo.

”Others are the dualisation of Obajana – Benin road, section III (Auchi – Ehor) and the dualisation of Obajana – Benin road section IV (Ehor – Benin) both in Edo.

”The termination of the said contracts became necessary in view of the inordinate delay of the affected companies in job performance,’’ he said.

Umahi also said that engineers in charged, have therefore been directed to take the necessary steps to do the needful and arrange with the affected companies for a joint measurement of work done so far.

”The Federal Ministry of Works under my watch will not condone acts of unseriousness and sabotage by contractors whose plan is to become a clog in the wheel of progress of the Renewed Hope administration,” he said.
