The Rivers State Government has canceled the N134 billion contract awarded to the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) for the reconstruction of the State Secretariat complex in Port Harcourt.
The contract, originally approved during the tenure of former sole administrator Vice Admiral Ikot Ete Ibas (retd), was terminated during Thursday’s State Executive Council meeting presided over by Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
Following the cancellation, the Council directed CCECC to refund the N20 billion mobilisation fee already paid.
In the same meeting, the Council approved the formation of a six-member committee, chaired by Deputy Governor Prof. Ngozi Odu, to identify suitable sites for the construction of Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres across the state to support external examinations.
