Managing Director of Nigeria’s leading engineering construction company, 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.
He spoke at the flag-off of various road projects recently awarded the company in Rivers State even as Gov Wike enjoined the company to meet the projects’ deadlines assuring that an effective payment schedule has been put in place even beyond his tenure in office come May 29 this year.
At the flag-off ceremony of the Ahoada-Omoku road extension and dualisation, Engr Dr. Richter reminded all that “we have the privilege of dualising 25 kilometres of road in just 18 months.” He however offered his personal thanks to the Rivers State Governor, saying, “I would like to personally thank His Excellency for his great confidence in our company.”
In order to meet the deadline for the Ahoada-Omoku road dualisation extension project, Engr. Dr. Richter sought the cooperation of all stakeholders.
“In order to be able to meet the construction deadline, which is actually short, we need the cooperation of all stakeholders involved. 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,” Julius Berger Managing Director said.
He further pleaded for understanding from “communities along the road alignment,” stating that they will 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.
