Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Senator Muhammed Adamu Aleiro, has said the FCT Administration would sanction Biwater Nigeria Limited, the contracting firm handling the multi-billion-naira water treatment Plants, phases III and IV, in the Lower Usuma Dam, for unimpressive performance. Aliero said this [...] when he paid an unscheduled visit to the project site [on 03 June 2009].
He lamented the lack of seriousness on the part of the contracting firm, in spite of the fact that government has met all its financial obligations and wondered why the contractor is not moving at the desirable pace. Aliero expressed his administration’s dissatisfaction with performance of the firm, saying, “we have made a promise to provide potable water to all the nooks and crannies of the FCT, anything that would frustrate that good intention would not be acceptable.
“I have inspected this project site three times since I took over the mantle of leadership and all these visits were not for fun,” he said, and charged all contractors handling projects in the FCT to endeavour to meet all contractual agreements, promising that his administration would continue to fulfill its own part of the agreement.
