Imo State Governor,
Rochas Okorocha, has ordered the arrest of some road contractors, alleged to
have abandoned projects awarded to them by the state government after
collecting mobilisation fees.
This was just as he stated that all projects
embarked upon by his administration would be completed before the end of the
year.
Okorocha gave the arrest order yesterday at a
town hall meeting with the people of Isu and Njaba local government council
areas.
Governor Okorocha said the verification tour of the
27 local councils in the state was to ascertain the level of completion of
contracts awarded in each council area and appealed to the people in the area
to collaborate with the government to ensure that contractors justify the over
N28 billion paid on the construction of rural roads.
