Eke, impressed about the situation of things at the site, stated that the construction company has gone against all odds to ensure a successful project.
“I am very impressed with the contractor’s work. Though there were lots of issues of compensation and relocation on the right of way, Julius Berger’s speed of work and its total commitment to project delivery is clearly reflected in the high-level construction activities that you (the media) and our team can see before us today. We are impressed.”
According to the engineer, the Itu-Odukpani-Calabar road intended to give the communities better access to greater economic activities is a major Federal road that will link towns out of Calabar through Ugep-Ogoja-Kastina, Ala to North East and North Central Geo-political zones and also connecting towns in akwa-Ibom state to South East and other regions.
On what the Federal government seeks to achieve in upgrading and expanding the Itu-Odukpani-Calabar road, Eke said “the dualization of the road is strategically planned by government to resolve the traffic issues of the important road corridor”.
