The telecommunication giant, MTN, has said that construction work on the 2nd section of Ugwu-Onyema axis of Enugu-Onitsha highway will resume in March because the contractor handling the project has been mobilised to site.
It would be recalled that MTN is funding the Enugu-Onitsha Highway construction through the federal government’s novel Road Infrastructure Tax Credit Scheme (RITCS).
The Chairman/Principal Consultant, Crown Crest Global Engineers (CCGE), Chief Chris Okoye, representing MTN Community Liaison Initiative, gave the assurance in Enugu Thursday.
Okoye said this after an inaugural meeting of the taskforce on the management of traffic within the 9th Mile-Ugwu Onyeama to 82 Division Junction Corridor.
He said the telecommunication giant was desirous to push and complete substantial part of the construction of the Enugu-Onitsha Highway in 2025.
