The Federal Government has vowed to ensure the completion of the Bonny/Bodo Road project in September 2025.
The Minister of Works, Engr. Dave Umahi made this known during an inspection of ongoing federal roads projects in Rivers State on Wednesday.
According to him, the work has been delayed by Julius Berger for a long time despite receiving 85 percent of the contract sum.
“This work will not go beyond September. This job has been badly delayed. And you are aware that going forth and back with Julius Berger on this project lasted for one year. Even, there was a bridge of contract were Berger has to demobilize without notice to the client,” he said.
He expressed dissatisfaction with contractors handling road projects for failing to deliver on the agreed time, and vowed to terminate the contract of any contractor who fails to up their game
He commended President, Bola Tinubu for his commitment to the people of the Nigeria Delta and other section of the country.
“I want to commend Mr President very very highly for his commitment to the people of the Nigeria Delta and of course indeed to every section of this country,” he said.
