Also speaking, the Managing Director of Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, Dr. Lars Richter, assured the State Governor that the company would deliver the three flyover projects as promised during the signing of the contract.

He commended the  Governor for his good management of COVID-19 which has also impacted positively on the level of work done by his company.
