Gov. Yahaya Bello of Kogi on Monday, in Lokoja reprimanded the Chinese contractor handling the renovation of the Kogi Specialist Hospital, Lokoja, for executing a substandard project and delay in delivery.

Bello lambasted the contractor while on an assessment visit to some ongoing projects across the state, adding that the poor quality of work was unacceptable by the state government.

The governor, while criticising the Chinese company, Changjiang Construction Nigerian Ltd, also expressed disapproval with the concerned ministries and parastatal agencies over the shoddy job done by the contractor.

“Work done is Zero! Honorable Commissioner for Works, Health, CMD, I am not convinced with what I am seeing here as far as the renovation is concerned. This has shown that you have no capacity.

“This is not GYB’s standard, I am a man of quality and everything I do as far as Kogi State is concerned in terms of project depicts quality and standard, World Standard!

“I cannot imagine that, this is where I am spending money.

“This job is supposed to have been delivered before now. In the first instance, you have delayed; you have breached that particular part of the contract,” he said.

The governor, however, gave the contractor a deadline till December to ensure that they correct every shabby work done, while he promised to hold responsible those who recommended and certified the company for the job.

“So, I am holding you squarely responsible for this and we are going to take appropriate actions. And, I give you between now and December this year to go back and do this job properly.

“This is what we call `rub and shine’ and I cannot allow this to be used to describe me, I will never allow that.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Bello also visited other ongoing projects across the states to ensure that work was going on as expected with contractors on the ground.

Some of the projects he inspected included the Ganaja Junction flyover, the River Niger embankment projects at the old market, the GYB Modern Science School, Adankolo, reconstruction of the Paparanda Square- Nataco Jucntion township road.

In the video sighted by Lailas News, man who was dressed in the full uniform of the Nigerian Army could be seen whipping the woman in public.

The shocking incident occurred in Beere community of Ibadan, Oyo state, and many explained that the soldier beat her because of what he called ‘indecent’ dressing.

Many onlookers stood in shock as the soldier meted out the ‘punishment.’ They allegedly collected money from them after harassing and extorting them.

Following the public outcry, the soldiers have been arrested and taken to the barracks. This was disclosed on Twitter by the state Commissioner for Youths and Sports, Seun Fakorede.

He wrote;

”My ears are full with news of the unlawful activities of some Soldiers of the Nigerian Army, over the weekend.
I have immediately reached out to the Commandant of the Operation Burst and I’ve been assured that the men involved in this distasteful operation have been arrested and taken to the barracks — they will be dealt with accordingly.
This will not repeat itself again in Oyo State. Please, kindly go about your daily business and activities without fear. Thank you.”
