Secret Reporters No place to hide

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of ULO, Uche Okpuno will be a subject for the media to feast on in days to come, Secret Reporters has learned. Everything has been put in place in the media to bring down the image of the Chairman and his ULO for the past jobs he did in Delta State, which the current Governor has frowned at.
The Executive Assistant to the Governor of Delta State on Communications, Fred Oghenesivbe has fired the first warning in a widely circulated Press Release, with permission from his boss, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.
Okowa commended the management of the new contractors handling the upgrade construction of Asaba International Airport runway, Setraco Nigeria, for the quality of work done within a short period of time.
The EA Communications in a statement disclosed that the ongoing speed of work at the airport is a proof of the corporate integrity so far exhibited by Setraco Nigeria; as against the “maradona approach” shamefully displayed by the blacklisted former contractors, Ulo Consultants Ltd.
The state government posited that Chief Chris Okpuno and ULO Consultants disappointed the government and people of Delta State, beyond tolerable proportion even though the state government fulfilled its part of the contractual obligations.
“When we say that ULO Consultants is an irresponsible corporate entity, it is meant that it lacked reputation and ability to deliver on several promises made after deliberately undermining the time frame stipulated and as contained in the legal documents perfected by both parties.
“Setraco, the new contractors as a responsible corporate citizen has shown reasonable signs that it will deliver as agreed in the month of July 2018; a stride that ULO Consultants could not achieve in nearly three years; which overwhelmingly gave the impression of advance fee fraud on the part of ULO, popularly known as 419 among fraudsters and their mugu victims.
“Of a truth, the government and people of Delta State were duped by ULO Consultants and its directors for which Chief Okpuno played key roles as Chief contract negotiator and principal signatory to the unfortunate deal.
“We must as a people and government appreciate the management of Setraco Nigeria for taking proactive steps to deliver on promise, a conduct impossible for Chief Okpuno and his unscrupulous contracting firm,” Oghenesivbe added.
Some aides of the Governor who reached out to Secret Reporters stated that there was no day that Okowa praised Okpuno for the airport job, describing suvh video clips as only existing in the imaginations of Secret Reporters and Okpuno.
