Contractors that abandoned government projects in Lagos should be made to face sanctions, the Lagos State House of Assembly Committee on Works and Infrastructure said on Monday.
The chairman of the committee, Mr Abiodun Tobun, spoke with newsmen in Lagos after the inspection of some dredging projects in the state.
Tobun said the committee would intensify efforts to ensure that contractors of the state government carry out their contracts according to specifications.
“It is tax payers’ money that is being spent on the projects; government fund has been appropriately apportioned, so the money must be judiciously spent.
“Those who abandon government projects should pay the contract money back to the government and we will bring them to the chamber of the House if they fail to do that.
“We will expose such persons and let Lagos residents know them. They have been given enough money to make profit and if you put the capital and profit in your pocket, you will be brought to book and dealt with.
