Governor Oborevwori disclosed, “We mobilised the contractor with 25 percent and they have done a lot of job, they have done 500m and 200m on the other side and behind me is one box culvert on the other side which is about 1.5km.”
He also expressed satisfaction with the ongoing work at the Nigeria Maritime University, Okerenkoko, where the contractor assured that the project would be completed by the end of the month.
