Northern Governors Urged To Patronise Local Contractors

Managing director of MTECH Universal Concept, Engr Mannir Musa Jega, speaking in Birnin Kebbi, the Kebbi State capital, has appealed to northern governors to always consider indigenous companies in contract awards.

His request came on the heels of a contract awarded to his company and ZBCC for the completion of the Kebbi State secretariat at the cost of N10 billion by Governor Nasir Idris.

In an interview with journalists at the complex in Birnin-Kebbi, Musa who was represented by the company secretary, Alhaji Umar Babangida Aliero, said his firm would handle three office blocks, a mosque, conference hall and restaurant in the new secretariat.

Musa promised to complete the work before the 18-month timeline for the project.

He said, “The project has almost reached 90-93 percent completion and we are going to complete it before the 18-month timeframe in the contract agreement.”

The company chief said MTECH was operating in Sokoto, Kaduna, Adamawa, Lagos among others on projects such as road construction, bridges, culverts as well as design.
