…Enugu indigenes alone got at least 90 per cent of the smart school projects – Chief Charles Mba
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Contractors handling multiple Smart Green School Projects for Enugu state have expressed satisfaction with the system put in place by the government, saying that they were delivering the projects in line with government’s standards and schedule.
The contractors, in separate interviews on Sunday and Monday, according to Sun, commended the huge investment by the government to migrate Enugu State children from outdated structures and learning to modern infrastructure and experiential learning to equip them with requisite knowledge and skills to compete in the emerging global economy.
Managing Director of Testimony Enterprises, Surv. Ugo Chime, said his company was awarded ten of the 260 Smart Green School projects.
“We handled 10 units of the Smart Green Schools. The government is collecting keys for those fully completed units starting from this week,” he said.
Also, the MD/CEO of Intasog Limited, Chief Ikeje Asogwa, said, “Intasog was awarded 12 sites, which we have done well and we are happy and grateful for the opportunity,” he stated.
In the same vein, MD/CEO of Alubond Nigeria Limited, Chinedu Nwobodo, said, “Alubond was awarded 10 schools. And the good thing is that you do not even need to know anybody to get multiple contracts, so long as you have a proven capacity.”
Chief Charles Mba is the MD/CEO of CDV Properties and Development Limited, which is also doing multiple projects.
“We are delivering 10 Smart Green Schools in line with government standards. I know for certain that Enugu indigenes alone got at least 90 per cent of the school projects, depending on the capacity of each company.
“But this should not be reduced to where a contractor comes from as some are trying to do. Enugu indigenes with credible companies, including ours, do projects in other states. Commitment and capacity to deliver are what matters,” he said.
MD/CEO of Ever Progressive Integrated Resources Venture, Benneth Nwatu, said that the state government was playing its part to ensure that the school projects succeeded.
“Our company has completed multiple projects here. For example, we handled the Smart Green School at Ugwuomu Nike, the one at Queens School, and another one at Inyi in Oji River.
“One thing about the governor is that he is somebody who is happy when somebody shows capacity. When we completed the project at Queens School within six months, the government graciously awarded us more jobs. The ones we are handling at Ekulu Girls and Iva Valley are also almost completed,” he stated.
He equally commended the governor for the upward review of the contract sum by the state when inflation bit hard to ensure that none of the projects failed.
