Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, Governor of Anambra State, has terminated a road contract in Aguata Local Government Area due to the contractor’s alleged incompetence and delay in delivery.
Though the name of the corporation in charge of the contract was not disclosed, a video of the governor’s visit to the site has gone viral on the internet.
In the video, Soludo, who paid an unplanned visit to the road building site on Sunday, refers to the firm as incompetent and incapable of completing the task.

“Just take off all these items (equipment), because this contract has been terminated,” the governor told the project manager on the job site. I just called the commissioner of works and informed him that this contract has been terminated.
“See what you are doing. I have terminated the contract, and you are supposed to return the money you were paid. Useless company! We gave you this contract on the basis that you are an indigenous company but see what you are doing. This is what we see. You blocked the entire highway and nobody can pass. Now, I am going to my hometown, how do I go? This is a federal highway.
“For months, you blocked the road, even for people to pass through the other highway, you blocked the road.
“This job was supposed to have been finished in October, and that was the contract you were given. Other companies that were given the same contracts like you have all delivered.”

The governor ignored any pleas from the clearly concerned project manager, dismissing arguments that the road had quirks that made it difficult to deliver on time.

“There are other very difficult terrains, and the contractors have delivered. I have terminated the contract and there is nothing you can tell me about it. Take off all your equipment from this place and move out because another person is coming to take over the job. If you continue, it is at your own risk because we are not paying you a dime, instead, we are asking for a refund.”
