Following the story published by Saturday Vanguard on February 15,
2014 with the headline Anambra stadium project: Contractor shuns
inspection team, the Executive Chairman of Paul- B Nigeria PLC, Engineer
Enidom Paul, has revealed exclusively that his firm was not officially
written and invited by the state’s ministry of sports for the inspection
exercise.
He disclosed that he was working in harmony with the
ministry of works and housing, that sports ministry is only the user of
the end product.
According to him: “First and foremost, I must say
that I’m not happy with the publication. There was no proper
investigation before the story went to press.
Paul- B is an
organization that has come a long way which has and worked hard to earn
her good name among her contemporaries so we did not just start
yesterday. And I also want to say categorically that Paul –B Nigeria
PLC, was not officially written and invited for the inspection.
It
is my job and since I was given the contract, there has never been any
problem. I have worked harmoniously with the ministries concerned, if
there was going to be any inspection, the ministry of sports should have
written to officially tell us and there should be synergy between that
of works and sports.
Also, I have other senior workers who were at
their duty post on that fateful day that should have spoken on my
behalf if there was need for them to. The state government is happy with
the king of professional job we are doing and they are paying us so if
the job is not good they would not be paying.
Nobody has come out
from the government to condemn the project, and if there are changes
they want me to effect, they have to put it into writing and I will tell
them what it will take to do.
Contractually, we have not
contradicted the agreement, we are working with the laid down
architectural master plan given to us. So it is naïve for any person or
group of people to say that we have deviated from the plan given to us,”
he said.
The contractor who has executed many jobs in the state
and elsewhere said his professionalism on the job has earned him good
name, adding that Paul –B Nigeria PLC was totally committed to giving
its best at any given situation.
