Delta State Government, Tuesday, said it has released the sum of N30billion for the payment of outstanding certificates owed contractors in the state.
The State Commissioner for Works (Rural and Riverine Roads) Mr Charles Aniagwu disclosed this during an interview with journalists shortly after inspection of ongoing projects at Emevor and Evwreni in Isoko North and Ughelli North Local Government Areas of the state.
Aniagwu commended Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for the approval, adding that it would encourage contractors to put in their best to deliver their projects on schedule.
According to him, not too long ago, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori approved the payment of contractors to the tune for almost N30billion to different contractors and that’s why you are seeing that a lot of our contractors have moved back to site.
“We are already making plans in no distant time to also continuously pay so that contractors can continue to work and our people continue to get value.
