Ekiti Government Issues Firm Warning to Contractors: Meet Deadlines, Uphold Quality Standards

The Ekiti State Government has issued a strong directive to contractors handling public projects, emphasizing the necessity of adhering to approved timelines and maintaining high-quality standards. This announcement was made during an inspection tour of key ongoing projects in Ado Ekiti.

The projects inspected include the Ekiti State International Centre for Arts and Culture, a new Revenue Building, the Indoor Sports Hall, and the renovation of the House of Assembly Complex. The government reiterated its commitment to ensuring that all projects meet the required specifications and are completed within the stipulated timeframes.

The administration has made it clear that the use of substandard materials will not be tolerated, and that all projects must be durable to serve the people effectively.
