The Chairman of Emohua Local Government Area, Dr Chidi Lloyd has charged contractors handling local government projects in the area to engage the services of youths in the Local Government Area at their respective project sites.

The council chairman who gave the charge during the inspection of some projects being executed within the council secretariat on Monday, assured that the Local Government Council will not hesitate to disengage any contactor that fails to employ youths from the area, stating that his administration has within its first one hundred days in office provided employment opportunities for hundreds of youths at the different project sites across the Local Government Area.

He called for increase in the number of workers at the different projects sites to have the projects delivered on time.

According to the council chairman; all contractors handling Local Government projects must ensure that the youths of the area are carried along in the project implementation, either as skilled or unskilled labour.

The Local Government Chairman directed the contractor handling the Ultramodern Emohua Local Government Council Secretariat Building to engage more youths from the Local Government Area in the construction work, to speed up the ongoing casting work and have the project completed on time.

The council chairman also directed the contractor handling the Local Government Healthcare Center to intensify effort to ensure that the project is delivered within the stipulated time and put to use as soon as possible.

Dr Lloyd also inspected the ongoing construction work at the Local Government canteen building.
