In order not to compromise quality and standard, the attention of the Contractor handling the rehabilitation of Maje-kwamba Road in Suleja Local Government Area of Niger State has been drawn to certain anomalies.
The Infrastructure Monitoring Committee on inspection visited the site to notify the Contractor on some defects as identified by Governor Abubakar Sani Bello.
The Governor intimated the Committee on the identified defects which have to do with side drains, stone pitching laying and the road shoulders, pointing out that they are not in consonance with the scope and specifications of the contract agreement.
