FG In Discussion With HITECH, Yet To Award Lagos -Calabar Coastal Highway
The attention of the Ministry of Works has been drawn to an information reported online by nairametrics. com crediting a statement to H.E, Sen. (Engr) David Nweze Umahi the Hon. Minister of works as saying that the ” FG Awards LAGOS -CALABAR COASTAL HIGHWAY TO HITECH “.
A statement issued by Lere-Adams Blessing, Director ( Information )Press & Public Relations Unit Federal Ministry of Works, noted that “this information is totally untrue and misleading. The general public is to please note and be well guided and for the RECORDS. The FG has only recently opened a maiden discussion with the Engineering company- HITECH on this project, a second meeting is being considered to further access the possibility of the project being handled by them. The Ministry has not Awarded any such Contract nor has signed any such Contract Agreement with any company in this regard.
“To this effect, media organizations are to please ensure their facts are duly authenticated with the Federal Ministry of Works before putting out incorrect information to the public.”
Let’s be more thorough in our journalistic activities as the Ministry appreciates as always the cordial and positive reportage of the Ministry’s Policies and Programs.
