You reduced it on both sides. Look at my face, if you are not doing the right thing and not working according to specifications, I can revoke the contract any moment without fear or favour. I need you to do a quality job, it is the people\u2019s resources and must be utilized effectively and efficiently\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A resident in the community, Slyvester Igbinovia who was among the jubilant crowd that welcomed the governor, complained about the slow pace of work by the contractor handling the road and drainage projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMr. Gov this contractor is just too slow on this job, they close before 2 pm when they are on site but most times they are not on site. They are here today your excellency, I am sure they know that you are coming that\u2019s why they are here today\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The governor and his entourage also inspected ongoing roads and drainage projects at, Orior Uteh palace road, New Uteh road Ekiuwa Quarters, Upper Ekheuan open drain by Nigerian Army Cantonment amongst others areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A jubilant crowd who received the governor and his entourage in all the areas visited thanked him for remembering them as they said previous administrations have forgotten that these areas existed and they prayed for the success of the governor and his administration in the State. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/2025\/03\/okpebholo-threatens-to-terminate-projects-of-non-performing-contractors\/\">(Vanguard)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The governor of Edo State, Sen.
