Julius Berger Nigeria plc, the civil construction giant contracted by the Governor of Delta State, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori for flyovers, cloverleaf and road expansion projects in the Effurun and Warri axes has been mobilized with 25 per cent of contract sum of N78 billion to go to site and consequently, the groundbreaking of the projects will commence soon (November to early December).
Governor Oborevwori disclosed this while speaking with journalists during an inspection of Boji-Boji Mixed Market in Ika -North East.
“We have mobilised Julius Berger with 25 percent of the total contract sum and they are doing the drawings, soil tests and all the necessary preliminary works now.
“Very soon, between now and first week of next month (December), we will have the ground breaking ceremony because everything is in top gear and we are going to keep to all our promises.
“I believe that Deltans are very happy with what we are doing and we are pleased that the state has been very peaceful.”
He commended the immediate past Governor of the state, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, for initiating the market project which comprises 120 shops and a modern abattoir, and lauded the contractor for doing a good job.
“The good thing about it is that the contractor has done a very good job.
“Normally, before we commission any project, we need to inspect it to know whether it is done to specification. So, we are satisfied with this project.
“I know that the people of Ika North East will be very happy for this project and I thank the immediate past governor for initiating the project which has been completed during my tenure,” he said.
