Lagos State Warns Contractors on Project Delivery Standards

The Lagos State Government has issued a warning to contractors regarding the standards of project delivery, emphasizing the need for professionalism and timely execution to maintain public confidence in government projects. This caution was articulated by Olabod Agoro, head of services, during the 2026 procurement stakeholders forum held in Ikeja.

Agoro stated that the government will continue to support credible and competent service providers who demonstrate value for money. He discouraged practices that undermine public trust, such as delays and compromised quality standards.
