Benin/Auchi Highway: FG mobilises RCC back to site

The Federal Government has mobilised back to site Reynod Construction Company (RCC), the contractor handling the dualization of the Benin/Ehor section of the Benin/Auchi/Okene highway.

It would be recalled that the company that started the dualization work on the highway in 2012, moved out of site late 2014 due to non-payment.

Mr Denis Orji, the Federal Controller of Works, confirmed this in Benin on Saturday.

Orji said the mobilisation of RCC back to site has seen more than 300 workers that were laid off after they closed site in 2014, reabsorbed.

The controller said the first task before the construction company was to see that the potholes and failed sections of the highway are made motorable.

“Though their scheduled is between Benin/Ehor section of the road, but they are to ensure that the section up to Iruekpen is passable by carrying out maintenance work.

“If you go through the road as we speak, you will see that the company have done a lot of work on the area they are maintaining, what is left for them majorly is to put bitumen.

“You will see that they have moved equipment back to site, but by next week, you will see more of the equipment,” he said.

It would be recalled that the Federal Government, under Goodluck Jonathan administration, awarded contract for the dualization of the highway from Benin to Lokoja.

Four different construction companies were awarded contract for the four lots/sections up to Lokoja.

The road, particularly the highway between Benin to Okene has become very bad.

GEJ project that completed? I have noticed one good thing you can't take from PMB is continuity of projects. That is a sign of strength not weakness.

That road is currently worse than when GEJ awarded it. Virtually nothing was done. I travel the road often, and it has cut into two at Ekpoma just after Big Joe Motors when coming from Benin.

Because of Edo election abi?

As for me Ize-iyamu till Buhari make N1 equals $1

Hope you can hear how horrible you sound. GEJ awarded contracts in 2012 and failed to pay contractors from then up to 2014 even in the midst of oil boom and you still have the guts to mention 'GEJ project'. You and GEJ should be ashamed. The question you should be asking him is to tell us what he did with all the money he got from oil boom if he couldn't pay for projects awarded. Oh, I forgot! He and his cronies stole it and used the rest to compromise everyone and everything, including INEC, to win reelection

First time I'm commenting on a politics thread. Its not a propaganda. I actually passed through the highway from Kaduna to Lagos and from Lagos to Kaduna again in space of 4 days. RCC is back on site as I saw their trucks and workers on the said highway doing their work.

Which portion are you talking about?

Last week I couldn't drive through that Big Joe portion of the road when going to Benin. Trailers sank in mud and everywhere was blocked. I had to revise to take inside town to Iruekpen. Yesterday, when travelling from Benin, I diverted from Iruekpen via Ujemen via Ihumudumu to Ekpoma road.

- Updated:

A friend just confirmed to me it has been fixed. I will confirm it when I travel again.

Okay

Yeah, get it right to continue Jonathan's work is not such a bad thing really.
Better than cancellation of projects like he did in the 80s during his first coming and like Yar'Adua also did.

Na lie, Edo people no go vote APC even though them wan carry Kanji dam come give them light for 30days/night.
