Umahi also said, “Onitsha – Enugu dual carriageway is a very
busy road and if not the most important in South East for our people, it is
such a commendable engagement by MTN, I visited this road last week, I like
what RCC Construction company is doing. I am very satisfied with their work, it
is very impeccable measure of construction, I will be very happy if we can
engage on the 2nd carriageway.”

more projects and one project that is very key to our people is Ife- Ondo road.
We will be having a powerful engagement with you on how we can start this, In a
matter of 10 days all issues will be resolved and all the projects will
commence.”
Earlier the Managing Director of MTN Nigeria and the Chief
Executive Officer Karl Toriola Olutokun in his remarks said, “A lot of progress
has been made since we started and without your tremendous support we wouldn’t
have gotten this far, we assure you that we will be satisfactory to you and
there will be no financial delay.”

projects are the demonstration of our commitment to this nation and the regime
with the value of sustainability of our business.”
