The Managing Director Julius Berger Plc, Engr. Dr. Lars Richter, has again assured the government and people of Rivers state of prompt delivery of top quality projects within agreed schedule.
Richter spoke at the flag-off of various road projects recently awarded the company in Rivers state even as Governor Nyesom Wike enjoined the company to meet the projects’ deadlines, assuring that an effective payment schedule has been put in place beyond his tenure in office come May 29 this year, a press statement issued by the media unit of the engineering giant, Thursday, said.
The statement quoted Engr Dr. Richter at the flag-off ceremony of the Ahoada-Omoku road extension and dualisation as reminding all that “we have the privilege of dualising 25km of road in just 18 months,”offering his personal thanks to the Rivers state governor, saying: “I would like to personally thank His Excellency for his great confidence in our company.”
To meet the deadline for the road dualisation extension project, Engr. Dr. Richter sought the cooperation of all stakeholders, noting that, “The good and cooperative collaboration with the Rivers state administration so far makes me very confident that we will also successfully realise this project as a well-coordinated team.”
He further pleaded for understanding from communities along the road alignment,stating that they would all benefit from the project at the end of the day.
Earlier at the event, Rivers state governor said he believes that Rivers people deserve the best, which is why his administration has not looked back on committing resources, while engaging the best construction firm, Julius Berger, to deliver those critical road and other infrastructural projects.
Wike also flagged off the reconstruction and dualisation of Emohua Road to Abalama/Tema Junction by Julius Berger. Speaking at Ogbakiri junction in Emohua local government area, the venue of the flag off, Governor Wike thanked Julius Berger for the company’s efforts at giving the state “beautiful infrastructures that will stand the test of time.” He said the road project is dear to his heart and would want it completed as soon as possible.
