Imo Govt. signs MOU with Julius Berger on road projects

Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State, on Wednesday, took another bold step on infrastructural renewal, signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Julius Berger Nigeria Plc on the reconstruction of Owerri to Orlu and Owerri to Okigwe roads in the state.

Governor Uzodimma described the event, which took place at the Sam Mbakwe Exco Chambers, Government House, Owerri, as a ‘special day’ in the life of the state.

He said the two roads are major gateways to neighbouring States hence the road infrastructure linking Imo State to her neighbours would help improve the economy of the state when completed.

Governor Uzodimma reassured Imo people that, with what is known of Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, the projects would be delivered within a record time and “this will surely be a partnership that will sustain the test of time.”

Governor Uzodimma appealed to Imo people, especially communities on the right of ways of the projects to give the company maximum cooperation and needed support to enable them deliver the projects on time.
