Zamfara State Government has threatened to sanction contractors handling road projects in the state if they failed to comply with contract agreements.
The state Commissioner for Rural and Community Development, Alhaji Lawal Liman, said that the state government was not happy with the performance of some companies handling the road projects in the state.
Liman, who is also the Chairman of the state Projects Monitoring Committee, expressed his dismay today while inspecting the 23 kilometres ongoing Kyambarawa-Nahuche-Lambar Nahuche road project.
According to the reports, Nahuche Construction Company (NCC), is one of the indigenous construction companies, handling the project.
“We noted that some of the contractors were not complying with the contract agreements, some are executing shoddy jobs while some are too slow.
“It is very unfortunate the way some construction firms are handling road projects in the the state, if you look at the level and quality of some roads it is not encouraging.
“Despite the efforts of the government by releasing money in time to them but some contractors are not justifying this, because if you look at the level of their work it is not up to expectation,” he said.
He said government would no longer tolerate that, adding: “We are calling on them to redouble their efforts in handling their works or risk sanctions.”
