Following the collapse and the subsequent
demolition of the Bayelsa State governor’s office,
the state government has disclosed that the new
office project under construction would gulp about
N33.8 billion.
The Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure,
Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, disclosed this to
journalists during his inspection of the ongoing
projects executed by the Governor Seriake
Dickson administration.
Ewhrudjakpo said the office complex, when
completed, was expected to be the best not only
in the country but in the West Africa sub-region.
He stressed that the project would be equipped
with the latest state-of-the-art facility.
“The contract sum for the new governor’s office is
N33.8 billion As you saw the work done at the
site, so far, you will know that the sum is worth
the while,” he said.
Ewhrudjakpo expressed optimism that the
governor would celebrate this year’s Christmas in
the new office.
He said about 50-60 per cent of the contract sum
had been sunk into the project so far and that
had brought it to near completion.
The commissioner enumerated some of the
challenges in erecting the building to include
sand-filling of the site to two feet above the
ground before the commencement of construction
work.
“If you ask me how much we have sunk into it, I
won’t be able to tell you. But I can say that
about 50-60 per cent of the contract sum has so
far gone into it and that’s why the work is at the
stage it is.
“When we got there, you saw that they were
doing the finishings, fixing electrical and plumbing
fittings. Inside the executive chambers, you saw
that the air conditioners are already there.
“I can tell you that as soon as we give them (A
and K Construction Limited) some additional
money, which we have promised to do in the next
one or two weeks, the job would have gone very
far.
“We are targeting December. We are thinking that
his excellency will celebrate the Christmas in his
new office all things being equal,” the
commissioner said.
