President Bola Tinubu has hailed leading engineering construction company, Julius Berger Nigeria PLC for the quality of work done on the 35.7km Bodo-Bonny Road project in Rivers State.

Tinubu, represented by the Minister of Works, Engr David Umahi at the temporary opening of the road to ease transportation for residents in the communities along the route during the yuletide festivities said the road has been a long journey with delays and challenges along the way.

However, he said through the patience and the cooperation of the community, “we have finally reached this important milestone. And the contractor has continued to do a beautiful job here.”

The Minister on his part explained that the reason for the temporary opening of the road was to put smiles on the faces of people during the yuletide festivities.

“You know, the mood within the Bodo and the Kingdom of Bonny, and the President directed me to come here with the National Assembly members, and of course, with the state government and the good people of Bodo and Bonny to temporarily open this route for the good use of Nigerians. That is why we are here today,” Umahi said.

The Minister added that no Okada or Keke will be allowed on the route for now, adding, “And I have a big commendation to Julius Berger, especially the current team. If we had them, we wouldn’t have had all the fights we have had in so many places to the extent that this job here was threatened.”

Speaking earlier, the Project Manager, Julius Berger Nigeria PLC, Tim Nippert stated that the cooperation his team is getting from the ministry and communities, so far has helped a lot.
