Bauchi State Government has issued a 2 weeks ultimatum to 10 contractors handling some parts of the 2500 housing project in the state to complete the project or face revocation.

State Commissioner for Housing and Environment, Honorable Hamisu Mu’azu Shira disclosed this while briefing journalists on the outcome of a high level meeting with contractors held at Government House, Bauchi

Hamisu Mu’azu Shira said failure by the contractors to complete and handover the project within the ultimatum period, the state government will be left with no option than to revoke their contract.

According to him, after revoking the contract, the state government will re-award it to other contractors who can complete the work within the time frame.

“Bauchi State Government is worried on the non-completion of some parts of our 2500 housing project in different parts of the state and today we have resolved to issue a 2 weeks notice to 10 contractors who we identified they are not doing the contract as scheduled.

We have agreed that, after revocation of the affected contracts, contractors who were found to have performed below the payment made to them, government will adopt all available means to make sure the contractors refund the excess monies back to the State Government.

“Although all their work have reached 97 to 98 percent stage of completion, but that is why we gave them to 2 weeks time because it is enough time for them to complete, and the good part of it is that we have enough resources to pay for the completion of the project to 100 percent without seeking for any additional fund outside the contractual sum agreed.

The Commissioner explained that, the high level meeting with contractors chaired by the Secretary to the State Government, Barrister Ibrahim Mohammed Kashim is to identify the challenges affecting the speedy execution of the housing project.

“Already the letters of notice on this position of the state have been signed by the SGG and dispatched to the affected contactors for immediate action.”
