Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has expressed displeasure at the slow pace of work by the contractors handling the total reconstruction of structures and landscaping at the Okrika Grammar School (OGS) in Okrika Local Government Area of the State.
Governor Fubara expressed his disappointment when he visited the project site on Monday to inspect and ascertain the extent of work down.
The Governor wondered why the Commissioner for Education had informed him wrongly that 70 percent work has been achieved while what he could see was far below the impression created.
Visibly angry, the Governor said he will summon a meeting with the contractors immediately to read the riot act to them and re-emphasise strict compliance to project specifications and timelines that were mutually agreed.
He said, “I have heard several reports from the Commissioner for Education, giving me updates, and I felt this is my constituency, so, I should visit.
“As a matter of fact, Okrika is dear to me, so I need to see for myself the extent of work done and the standard delivered too.
‘My assessment; I need to be very raw: I am not satisfied. That is the truth. The Commissioner gave me the impression that 70 percent of the job has been done, but from what I am seeing here, I need to takeover the supervision of this project to make sure I give my people a standard Grammar School again.”
