Rivers State government and Julius Berger engineering construction Plc, have signed a treaty for the dualisation of the Ahoada–Omoku road Phase 1 in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area of the State.
Julius Berger in a statement described how the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, lauded the construction company for face lifting infrastructural projects across the state.
Gov. Wike added that he expected no less high premium performance from the Julius Berger company which has been generally acknowledged as the nation’s infrastructures development partner of choice on any technically challenging project, especially those of high priority across the country.
However, the dualisation of Ahoada-Omoku road contract is a sequel to the ongoing construction of other superbly engineered and very functional roads, flyover bridges and other infrastructures across Port Harcourt by Julius Berger.

I assure the governor and people of the state, especially the communities the project is designed to serve, that their unique expectations from the dualisation project will be met.”
