Contractors Smile ‘’Big’’ As Civil Servants Cry Harder Over “Economic” Situations In Lagos Ministries

Emerging details have it civil servants in Lagos Ministries are still crying, and harder over their economic situation.

And ironically contractors handling state projects a smiling big time according to information available.

And this is all due to the administrative style put in place by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.

Sources confirmed the Executive Governor of Lagos state, with his depth understanding of all the behind the scene moves Civil Servants employ in making contractors part with projects funds, has cut them off in his dealings.

He deals directly with contractors a source stated simply.

Insiders disclose the governor directly approves contracts and gives approval for payment of 60% mobilisation fund directly to the contractors as part of efforts to get the job done speedily.

And it is working, that is the strategy behind all the projects execution springing all over Lagos sate societynow gathered.

Digs revealed before now, the norm was for civil servants to get contractors to ‘’appreciate them’’ at every step of the way to securing approval for projects.

‘’That was how they were making extra money, and it most time ended up delaying the project..especially when the contractor wasn’t forth coming or project abandonments when contractors have used the bulk of their mobilisation funds to facilitate approvals, but Ambode has eradicated all that’’ a source explained

Further digs revealed while the state contractors are especially happy over this development, the civil servants are greatly pained.

‘’their means of making extra money, which is even more than their salary have been blocked and they are seriously groaning hard and harder by the day as the reality weighs in’’ a source stated.

Societynow learnt in ministries across the state, this is the norm. Civil servants are crying hard while contractors are smiling big and projects getting rapidly completed across states.

‘’of course, it is also to the favour of the contractors that most of them have access to the governor’’ a source chipped in.
