National Assembly Joint Committee on Power has ordered contractors working on two Distribution EPC projects of the National Independent Power Project, NIPP, at Eneka and Oyigbo area of Rivers State to stop work immediately due to what they termed poor quality of the jobs.
Chairman of the committee, Senator Philips Aduda, and his deputy, Hon Patrick Ikhariale, who spoke, yesterday, when members of the committee inspected the projects scored the quality of work going on very low. They also expressed doubt if the transformers brought in for the jobs were new ones.
The law makers said work would only resume at the project sites after verification of the jobs and transformers had been conducted by independent experts. The Committee said it took the decision to ensure that the projects were delivered to specification.
