Ude­cott's board will push to com­plete sev­er­al projects as pri­or­i­ty, in­clud­ing the Gov­ern­ment cam­pus in Port-of-Spain and the Bri­an Lara Sta­di­um in Tarou­ba, Ude­cott vice chair­man Dr Kr­ish­na Ba­hadoors­ingh said yes­ter­day.

Ba­hadoors­ingh spoke fol­low­ing yes­ter­day's Ude­cott board meet­ing with new chair­man Jear­lean John. John said the meet­ing was held to brief her on in­for­ma­tion re­gard­ing projects she had sought. She said a full board meet­ing would be held next week. Ba­hadoors­ingh said the board re­ceived a full re­port from man­age­ment on the po­lice's seizure of var­i­ous items from Ude­cott on Wednes­day.

Ba­hadoors­ingh added: "It was not­ed in the re­port that the po­lice who came to Ude­cott to seek doc­u­ments con­duct­ed them­selves in a very gen­tle­man­ly man­ner, very cour­te­ous­ly. "It was al­so not­ed that they re­ceived every­thing they asked for," he added. Ba­hadoors­ingh said Ude­cott's fo­cus was com­plet­ing cer­tain pri­or­i­ty projects which were more or less fin­ished or which – like the Gov­ern­ment cam­pus – on­ly re­quired out­fit­ting. Ba­hadoors­ingh said John was an ex­cel­lent chair­man, "High­ly com­pe­tent, very knowl­edge­able, no non­sense and to the point and very friend­ly, a plea­sure to work with. "It's a new era with this new chair­man. I'm very im­pressed," Ba­hadoors­ingh added.
