The Managing Director said this when he visited the Baro River Port to inspect facilities at the site. Senator Mamora assured the contractor that the authority will reconstruct the bad portion of the road leading to Baro in two weeks time for easy movement of equipment and personnel to the port.
Receiving the managing director, the representative of the company handling the installation of the cargo-handling equipment, Mr Opeyemi Olabanji of First Index project and service Ltd, said the recent flood and the bad road leading to Baro was what delayed installation of the cargo handling equipment at the port in time. He assured the MD of the readiness of the company once the road is repaired.
