The coordinator, Abuja Metropolitan Management Control (AMMC), Chief Felix Obuah has warned contractors maintaining and security street lights in Abuja to lighten up the city or risk termination of their contacts.
Obuah while speaking in Abuja on Tuesday at an interactive session with the contractors expressed worry over the spate of darkness that has engulf the city despite not owing the contractors.
Obuah explained that having personally monitored the city, he discovered that it is still in darkness, adding that agreement made with AMMC on maintaining and securing the facilities has not been fulfilled.
“Why must we continue to patronize and pay you when the job is not being done? It is unacceptable and I said instead of sitting down in my office and sub charging you for not doing your job, there is a need for us to have this meeting to know what the challenges are.
“it is your duty to guide and maintain these facilities if the bulbs are dead, it is your duty to replace them and from what we have seen I don’t think any of you have lived up to that agreement that you entered with AMMC and if you continue like this I tell you, i don’t care we will backlist the contractors and if you have even applied we make sure you don’t get it but get a new contractor who can meet up to expectation.”
He further promised to support the contractors and slug out all pending issues militating against the maintanace and security of the street light in the city.
