With this, the project is essentially complete — 19 years after the contract was first awarded.

This is a landmark achievement and a deeply cherished milestone for the Itsekiri people. A promise made, and a promise kept.

We give God Almighty the praise for bringing this vision to reality. The project is expected to be commissioned in the first quarter of next year.”
