The Oyo State Government on Thursday ordered the contractor handling the Ibadan Circular Road project, ENL Consortium, to stop work on the construction site with immediate effect.
An initial notice of termination of contract was said to have been handed to the contractor on August 31, 2020.
The Commissioner for Public Works and Transport, Prof. Dahud Sangodoyin, had visited the construction site to restate the government’s stance. He urged the contractor to evacuate the construction site as its services were no longer needed, as reflected in the disengagement letter.
Sangodoyin, who spoke with journalists after the visit to the site, said “The consortium’s contract was terminated after the progress of work was highly unsatisfactory within the timeframe of the contract.”
