Sequel to the execution of Memorandum of Understanding between Imo State Government and Julius Berger construction company on Wednesday 1st July, 2020 at the Sam Mbakwe Exco Chambers, Government House Owerri, yesterday, a team of Engineers from the giant construction company came into the state to commence the survey and design of the two major roads subject of the MoU.

The Engineers before the commencement of the exercise paid a courtesy call on the Commissioner for Works at 10am in his office before embarking on the exercise.
The Commissioner assured them of maximum cooperation of Staff of the ministry in particular and the people of Imo state in general throughout their stay in the state for the roads construction.

The Owerri /Okigwe road measured 54  kilometers from government house roundabout to Okigwe roundabout while the Owerri /Orlu road measured 34 kilometers from Orlu road by bank road intersection (Warehouse Junction) to Ihiala/Umuduru Federal highway (Ama Banana). Representatives of the giant construction company were taken round these roads by the Director of Civil Engineering in the Ministry, Engr.
