Three months after the Dataphyte report detailing how the Ondo State Radiovision corporation (OSRC) was abandoned despite a N202.72 million Renovation project, the state government has restarted work on the OSRC building.
The report noted that despite the project intending to ensure “Complete Reroofing of the Complex, New Doors, New Aluminium Windows, Floor Tiling, Ceiling General Painting and Installation of AC”, works were abandoned by the government.
OSRC still in Poor State Despite Ondo Govt’s ‘N202.72 Million Renovation Project’
Details of the contract showed that a sum of “N2020,719,349 (Two Hundred and two million, Seven hundred and Nineteen thousand Naira)” was awarded.
However, the project which was earlier abandoned three years after its award has been restarted three months after Dataphyte’s investigative story.
Dataphyte’s earlier report read in part;
“Although general painting was part of the contract award, the building did not look like it had received a fresh coat of paint and the air conditioners at the building looked old, showing signs of rust, although new ACs were part of the contract award”.
Findings show that the building has received a facelift.
Dataphyte findings confirmed paintings have restarted, ACs being installed and other works that were earlier left undone, have now recommenced.
