PM: I am Engr. Nadim Arraj, Project Manager ARC Construction Company, the company enabling the Ubeji/Shaguolo road construction. #fixubejiroadnow: What is the problem with the Ubeji road that it has become a death trap to commuters, especially school children? PM: The Delta State Government have not paid us, we are owed for that project running into millions of Naira. The project is worth about two billion naira and only 10% mobilization have been paid. And you know without money, we cannot work. #fixubejiroadnow: It is rumored that the “Community Boys” use to disturb you, how true is that? PM: They disturbed us then, when we came initially, but presently they are very supportive. The major problem we have now is lack of funds. #fixubejiroadnow: What is the scope of the project and how far have you gone? wpost.co/ubeji-road-project/
