*Local Government Inspectorate Warns Contractor.*

The Special Adviser Local Government Inspectorate Hon. Lawal Rufa'i Safana has expressed dismay over the shoddy work done by a Contractor handling the construction of Staff Quarters at 'Yargamji and Dabaibayawa PHCs in Batagarawa LGA.

This was made known when the Special Adviser inspected the on going construction work of Staff Quarters at 'Yargamji and Dabaibayawa Primary Healthcare Centres.

Having observed the anomalies, the Special Adviser instructed the Contractor to completely remove the rafter until after a proper head course has been made before replacing the rafter.

The Contractor was also ordered to use 2/6"not 2/4 wood initially used for the rafter and must be treated with anti-termite.

Hon. Safana however observed that the structure was not being watered regularly and ordered for the regular watering to make it last longer.

He therefore warned that every stage of correction must be effected for his physical satisfaction and failure to comply will lead to the revocation of the Contract Agreement.

The Special Adviser also took time to inspect two most dilapidated primary schools Alale and Dabaibayawa Primary Schools recently rehabilitated and renovated in Batagarawa LGA.

The Special Adviser was accompanied by the Director Inspection and an Engineer from the Ministry, while the Director Works and Unit Head from the Local Government witnessed the inspection.
