Speaking after inspecting work on the road alongside the Permanent Secretary and other Directors in the Ministry, Engineer Ifejiofor
expressed satisfaction with the quality of work done so far, commending the contractor handling the project for the pace and quality of work.

He added that the road stood under water for over two months without crack, and said that it goes a long way to confirm that the job was
done with quality materials that would stand the test of time.
