NSE Infra project Visit: APC is in Severe Pain- Kolapo Alimi

NEWS RELEASE

OSOGBO- 19/08/2024 -Osunstate.gov.ng

The Osun State Government condemns in strongest possible terms, the demonstration of shamelessness and moral emptiness by the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), as it celebrates again the validation of Osun infrastructure projects by the Engineering associations.

Responding to APC comments on the infraplan validation, the Honourable Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Kolapo Alimi described APC as “being in severe pain” and “utter confusion” following the commendation heaped on the state Government by the combined team of Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) and the Nigeria Society of Engineering (NSE).

“The APC has reached the lowest ebb. The opposition which built the openly substandard Olaiya bridge accused Mr Governor of doing same on the multi-billion naira infrastructure projects. The NSE decided to verify the situation.”

“The team were received with due courtesies. On day one, it had a technical and field review of the projects. The second day, the team concluded the technical review and then headed to see the Governor on a courtesy visit.

“At the Government House, the team narrated its experience, confirming that the projects passed integrity tests based on global best practices. The NSE President then recalled the award earlier given to the Governor by the UK chapter of the NSE. The UK chapter had conducted almost a month of technical review in Nigeria before the UK award.

“The team under the NSE president reaffirmed and validated the review going by its own technical visitation. Additionally, the team expressed happiness that the consultants and engineers working on the projects are members of the NSE, commending the Governor for using NSE members for the various infra projects.

“The team professionally submitted various review documents to Mr Governor and promised to further partner with the Government for successful completion of the projects within the project timeline”, Oluomo Alimi narrated.

The Commissioner then queried the APC for turning a technical matter into political talks and abuse, calling on the APC to accept its failure and embrace the ongoing successful implementation of the multi-billion naira infra programme.

According to the Commissioner, the technical team has put paid to the fake news being promoted by the opposition, hence its anger and despair over the widely covered validation visit.

“We urge the APC to leave NSE out of its failed fortunes. The NSE is a professional body that won’t embrace APC culture of falsehood and fake news”, the Commissioner concluded.
