Quality Of Job Delivery By Contractors Excites Gov Eno
Akwa Ibom Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has expressed satisfaction with the quality and timely delivery of jobs by contractors at different project sites in the State.
Fielding questions from Government House correspondents shortly after he inspected the projects on Tuesday, Governor Eno reaffirmed his administration’s commitment towards ensuring that projects are properly monitored and appropriately funded in line with the contract agreement.
He explained that the routine on-the-spot inspection avails him the opportunity to carry out critical assessment of key projects and monitor project timeliness, staff welfare, pace and quality of job execution and funding approvals.
My role is to ensure that the work is progressing, that we are getting our money’s worth, that contractors are on site, and that they are fulfilling their responsibilities.
“This inspection, for me, is to give me an on-the-spot assessment and monitor our timelines. Everywhere I went, I can tell you that I am satisfied with the pace of work and the quality of work done,” he stated.

The Governor thanked the contractors for their commitment to their jobs and urged them to keep to timelines and specifications while prioritising the safety and welfare of staff.
“I believe that the contractors know that we will demand that they work according to our specifications.
“I am not just checking the work, I also check the staff, to ensure that everything is going well. So when I receive an IPC on my desk, I know exactly what that payment voucher is addressing. All of these works you see me inspect today, I have payment vouchers waiting for me to sign off.
“So, I have to come to see and be sure that they have reached certain levels before we can make the next set of payments.”
Among projects inspected by the Governor were the Aviation Village, Legislators and Executive quarters at Dakkada Luxury Estate, Equipment Leasing Company, and the CNG Bus Terminal.
In the Governor’s team were the Secretary to the State Government, Prince Enobong Uwah, Executive Assistant/Chief Delivery Advisor, Mr Aniefiok Johnson, members of the State Executive Council, and other government functionaries.
