The Director-General, NILDS, Prof. Suleiman Abubakar also stated that the contractor had “reneged on the agreement.”

As reported by DAILY TRUST, he said, “As of today, I can tell you, we are not owing Julius Berger; we are not indebted to Julius Berger. There’s no outstanding liability and the promise they made to us that they will go back to site, they reneged on that promise.

“That is why the speaker is furious that this edifice must be completed for commissioning in the next 30 days by Mr President.

“The project was to be commissioned on June 20, 2019, so nothing stops it from being commissioned now; they must do something between now and the next 30 days. That’s not how things are done.”

Zinga Hunwo, the project consultant, who addressed reporters, said, “Basically, it’s monetary issues between the client and the contractor. If he (contractor) receives money, he’ll return to site.”JAMB Result
