Steer Clear Project Sabotage, Employment Diversion -Gov Nwifuru Warns LG Chairmen

Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru, has warned Local Government Chairmen and Coordinators of Development Centres against contractual sabotage and ”empowerment diversion” in his government.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that the governor gave the warning on Sunday in Abakaliki during a Church Service at the Government House Chapel Abakaliki.

He warned those sabotaging government contracts in their various localities to stop forthwith.

He called on Town Unions and other key arms of the community development process to supervise jobs in their areas in line with the government’s specifications.

”If you are a coordinator or a local government chairman and live in Abakaliki and you hardly go to the village, don’t expect people to follow you.

”You must work in the interest of the people. Our youths need your attention.

“So, as a coordinator you should be executing projects not less than N10 million monthly and chairmen are supposed to execute projects of not less than 20 Million every month,” he said.

The governor commended the youths for not joining in the nationwide protest.

“They didn’t protest because we are perfect. They encouraged us to do more. It is a challenge for us as  government officials to ensure we do more.

“In this empowerment, we are not giving opportunities for the members of the State Executive Council, Judiciary, LGA Chairmen, and Coordinators, we want the youth to benefit.

“Ensure you exhibit ownership spirit in managing public utilities,” Nwifuru advised.
