“So, we are looking at the funding aspect of it so that we don’t disappoint ourselves but I can assure that we should be able to get to Oporoma in 24 months. I strongly believe that we will be able to achieve what I have in the maximum two years. What I can tell you is that they have started and there is no going back, DailyTimesNGR gathered.

“Everything has been put in place, so, going further, we will not have any problems. I’m very confident that the company will keep to time as long as government does not disappoint in meeting up its own financial obligations to the company.

“The road itself will serve as a dike to prevent flooding and areas where there are creeks, we always make provisions for culverts and close to the bridge, there will be a canal to take care of any flooding challenge.”
