ABAKALIKI—Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State has vowed to recover all money  paid to contractors for jobs not   completed by   the immediate past administration.

Umahi  made this vow while receiving interim report   of the Dave Nwachukwu-led   Market Development Committee   in Abakaliki on Monday.

He   noted that the contractors had ignored several invitations for joint measurements with the  ministries in charge of their contracts   and warned that the   government would take all necessary steps within the armbits of the law to ensure that they complied.

His words: “ A lot of the state fund is in the hands of the contractors. We invited one of the contractors or a number of them to come for   joint measurements but they are not complying and when that is not possible, whatever joint measurement done by the supervising ministry stands.”
