Tinubu commissions Arterial Road N5, Abuja, Commends Julius Berger’s world-class Delivery
Bennett Oghifo
President Bola Tinubu has declared that Nigeria’s leading engineering construction company, Julius Berger Nigeria PLC is a world-class firm that does not take its projects lightly. He spoke at the commissioning of the full scope development of Arterial Road N5 (Obafemi Awolowo Way) from Life Camp Junction to Ring Road III, Dape District Section, Abuja.
The President who was represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima defied the heavy rainfall to inaugurate the project commending the construction company for a good job done with its trademark professionalism. I commend Julius Berger for marching speed with world-class engineering and for treating this assignment with the seriousness it deserves.
Stating that in the past, projects like the Arterial Road N5 were easily abandoned and became permanent features in government’s budget with 10- or 15-years excuses for such neglect, Tinubu said, we are here to commission the Dape District Section of Arterial Road N5 from Life Camp Junction to Ring Road 3. We did not inherit this section from previous administrations. We conceived it, funded it and delivered it. It was awarded to Julius Berger with a strict 15-month deadline and plucked up in October 2024.
