Oborevwori Plays Deadly Drums For Officials Who Certify Poorly Executed Projects
Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, Sunday, said his administration would not spare any government official who certifies uncompleted or poorly executed projects for payment.
Governor Oborevwori, disclosed this at the retirement thanksgiving service of the Permanent Secretary/Accountant-General, Delta State Ministry of Finance, Mrs Joy Enwa, at the Cathedral Church of St. Peter, Asaba.
He said his administration’s desire was to ensure Deltans got value for every project executed by the state government.
The Governor disclosed that two engineers have been queried for issuing certificates for uncompleted projects.
The Governor, who spoke on theme of the homily titled “The choice of a good name”, expressed delight at the message, adding that civil servants in the state should desist from actions that could jeopardise their careers.
He said: “This message speaks loudly on what I have been doing in the past one week; the message is key to all our civil and public servants because a lot has been happening and I am happy for the choice of the topic.
“All that the civil servants needed since I came into office I have done for them, what else do they need?
“After fuel subsidy removal, we paid them transport allowance for three months, we paid promotion arrears of over N5.6 billion and we were also the first to pronounce and pay the New National Minimum Wage.”
He added; “As I am standing here, I am very, very angry for what civil servants are doing. Two civil servants have been issued query for issuing certificates for jobs that have not been completed and payments made.
“I know the ethics. Next week, I will announce their names, and we will look at it following due process. You know in this government, if you do well, space will be given to you to do more.”
