The Kano State Ministry for Public Procurement, Project Monitoring, and Evaluation (MPPPM&E) has issued a stern warning to contractors handling ten critical projects across seven local government areas, instructing them to accelerate their work or face contract termination.
During a recent monitoring tour, Commissioner Nura Ma’aji Sumaila voiced dissatisfaction with the slow pace of several ongoing projects.
In Bebeji, Power Hill Construction Limited was criticized by the local government chairman for failing to meet deadlines on the 5KM road project despite previous warnings. A final two-week ultimatum was given by the commissioner.
At the Kano State Drugs and Medical Consumables Supply Agency, construction of a medical storage facility has been stalled despite receiving a 50% mobilization fee. The commissioner summoned both the contractor and client ministry for immediate discussions.
Residents along the Kura-Kubarachi-Madobi road expressed worries over an incomplete bridge as the rainy season approaches. The commissioner emphasized the need for swift completion to avoid disruption.
Renovation works at Bebeji General Hospital were halted due to substandard quality, with the commissioner calling for immediate rectifications through discussions with the responsible contractor.
The Kumbotso 5KM road project has experienced significant delays, failing to meet its five-month completion timeline. The commissioner highlighted the urgency to finalize the project.
Delays were also noted on the Kumbotso Dorayi Babba 5KM road project, exceeding its planned five-month completion schedule. The commissioner urged speedy progress.
In Kumbotso, contractors were instructed to adhere strictly to original project designs, particularly after deviations were noted during the inspection.
Additional inspected projects included the Informatics Institute renovation in Kura, the Office of the Special Advisor to the Governor on Labour Matters, and fencing at a Bebeji graveyard.
The ministry reiterated its commitment to delivering quality projects on schedule, warning contractors that failure to perform satisfactorily would lead to decisive actions.
