Projects Execution: Oborevwori introduces Whistle-blowing in Delta..

Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, Wednesday, called for introduction of whistle-blowing to check poor projects delivery in the state.

Governor Oborevwori, who made the call during an interactive meeting with Permanent Secretaries, Directors and Heads of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) at Government House, Asaba, thanked the civil servants for their loyalty, support, commitment and dedication to duty.

He said the meeting, which was the third in the series since his assumption of office, became necessary following reports of some civil servants colluding with contractors to defraud the state through poorly executed projects.

The Governor, said two engineers have been suspended for certifying uncompleted projects for payment, adding that the decision was necessary to serve as a deterrent to others.

Oborevwori said: “All I require from you is loyalty, commitment and dedication to duty, not personal gain, for us it is Delta State first. In advancing Delta through our MORE Agenda, we must give the best to Deltans at all times.

“In everything we are doing in Delta State, we must give it the best. A situation where a superintending engineer will issue certificate for a project not completed and payments made is unacceptable.

“Where you are expected to use 12 mm rod and you use something else is it good?

“So, when I discovered bad jobs and issuance of certificates of completion for projects not completed, on the spot I directed that those involved should be issued a query.”
