The Government of Imo State has awarded contract to Julius Berger Nigeria Plc for the Construction of of Owerri to Orlu and Owerri to Okigwe roads.
The Governor Hope Uzodinma stated that the roads are the major getaways to neighbouring cities and so will help improve the economy of the state.
He also assured the people of Imo State that the rod will be delivered in no record time as the company is known for its swift work and quality projects.
The Governor wrote:
“Today, on behalf of the good people and Government of Imo State, we took another bold step towards our commitment to infrastructural renewal by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Julius Berger Nigeria Plc on the reconstruction of Owerri to Orlu and Owerri to Okigwe roads in the State.
The company was represented by the South East Regional Manager of Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, Mr. Juergen Fischer at the MoU signing event which took place at the Sam Mbakwe Exco Chambers, Imo State Government House, Owerri.
These two roads are major gateways to our neighbouring States, hence this critical infrastructure linking Imo State to our other neighbours will help to improve the economy of the State when completed.
The choice of Julius Berger Nigeria Plc is predicated on the company’s track records of quality and value for money which is very important to Imo people at a time like this.
I reassure Imo people that with what is known of Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, the projects would be delivered within a record time and this will indeed, be a partnership that will stand the test of time.
Furthermore, I appeal to Imo people, especially communities on the right of ways of these projects to give maximum cooperation to the construction company including the much needed support to enable them deliver the projects in record time.
Sen. Hope Uzodimma
Governor, Imo State.”
