The Bi-Courtney spokesman identified the two construction companies handling the project as Borini Prono and CCC Construction Nig. Ltd., adding that major reconstruction would start from Km 32.
The Director, Public Private Partnership Unit and leader of the delegation, Mr. Jaiye Adewusi, told the concessionaire, “You have started well. We hope you will keep it up,” he said.
Another member of the inspection team and Federal Ministry of Works Regional Director, South-West, Mr. Ejike Mgbemena, said, “The materials are well compacted, and the work is going on fine.”
