The contractor handling the N38 billion Agulu – Nnewi – Okija road dualization in Anambra State has said that the project would be completed in 12 months.
This came as some residents of Nnewi have become sceptical about the project as they fear that the present administration might not complete the work by the end of his tenure.
The contractor, who was awarded the Agulu to Nnewi Roundabout portion of the project, has vowed that his company will never fail, assuring that he has the capacity to execute the contract as entered.
It was gathered that the concern of residents living along the axis is whether the project would be executed with dispatch and whether the issue of compensation to the property owners after demolition to make way for the road construction would be properly handled.
Speaking on the issue, the President-General of Nzuko-Ora Nnewi (Nnewi town union), Dr Maduaka Atuenyi, however, said the property owners would be compensated .
He said that information available to him indicated that there would be compassionate compensation to proper building owners, and not shanties
