Umuahia, Abia State — The Abia State Government has urged contractors engaged in various government projects to adhere to internationally recognized quality standards. This directive was issued during a two-day workshop aimed at educating contractors and stakeholders involved in project execution across Ministries, Departments, and Agencies.
Mr. Onyinye Nwosu, the Director-General of the Abia State Projects Implementation Bureau, addressed the assembled contractors and project supervisors, emphasizing the importance of ensuring value for money in government contracts.
