He assured that the new contractor has gotten advanced payment and would mobilise to site as soon as the dry season comes.

He said: “The state government has shown commitment towards completing the project by revoking the contract from the previous contractor.

“We have re-awarded the job to Setraco Nigeria Ltd and they have been advanced N4billion.

“They are only waiting for the dry season to move to site because there is no access to the site now. The access road is flooded.
