Pastor Yakubu Izang Ezekiel for awarding contracts to competent contractors who delivered quality job and on scheduled.
The first place visited was the two (2) celled box culvert located in Gwisti, along Angware – Shere – Maza road as initiated by the Pastor Yakubu Izang Ezekiel led administration, awarded to SEKMAKENZY GLOBAL SERVICE LTD which has been completed and Gazarak Gwisti, also in the same Ward.
At Angware – Gada in Jos East – Rinjin Gani in Toro Local Government Area of Bauchi State road project which was initiated by the immediate past administration, where work stopped at a kilometre after Gada had before the intervention been neglected since the creation of Jos East Local Government Area, hence the Ezekiel led administration took the bull by the horns by mobilizing the contractor DUWAN NIGERIA LTD back to site.
In some of the places, the lawmakers observed that there are some grey areas at some project sites which needs urgent attention, and therefore called on work and Budget Departments who play a key role in the project execution to call the contractors of the affected areas to order to ensure proper finishing of same.
