The federal government has vowed to weed out road contractors who fail to mobilise to project sites until they receive advance payments, warning that non-performing firms could be delisted from future contracts.

Minister of Works, David Umahi, gave the warning at the weekend during an inspection of the portion of the Mararaba-Keffi road project handled by China Harbour Engineering Company(CHEC), where he also threatened sanctions against ministry officials who fail to enforce construction guidelines.
