An indigenous construction company, Uniglobe Construction Engineering Limited, described the federal government’s decision to give Nigeria a high-quality road network through the use of concrete pavement as the most sustainable method of road construction in Nigeria.
The Chief Executive Officer of the company, Prince Cyprian Imobhio, said the introduction of concrete in road construction in Nigeria was the best for the country’s roads.
In a statement signed by the chief engineer of the company, Anslem Ijebor, on behalf of the CEO and made available to the Nigerian Tribune in Lafia while reacting to Minister of Works David Umahi’s directive that henceforth contractors handling road construction in the country adopt the use of concrete or quarterly asphaltic roads for a period of 30 years, he said it was the best decision.
According to the statement, the Nation’s road network will henceforth not only witness a longer life span but also save costs and reduce failures, adding that David Umahi’s decision to give contractors the matching order was the best for the country.
“We in Uniglobe are supportive of the new concrete technology for road pavement proposed by the minister. We want to advise other contractors to follow suit as it will help our roads last longer, create jobs, improve the economy, and also give value to the taxpayer’s money”.
“We commend the minister for bringing innovations to the nation’s road network that have never been experienced on Nigerian public roads,” part of the statement read.
The statement further said, “The minister of Works, Engr. Dave Umahi had on the 7th of September inspected all the federal roads in Ebonyi State as part of his tour of federal roads across the country, where he commended Uniglobe Construction Company for handling some federal roads for a job well done.
“While on the visit through the Ohafia-oso Road, being handled by Uniglobe Construction, the minister commended the quality of work done so far and asked the contractor to return to the site immediately for the completion of the work with the use of concrete pavement.
“At the Abakaliki-Afikpo road section 1, still constructed by the same contractor, the minister said that though the job was executed long ago, he observed that there was no evidence that the contractor was on site maintaining the road during the maintenance period.
“He, however, directed the director in charge of highways south-east of the ministry of work, Engr. Bede Obioha, to issue a certificate of completion to the contractor. Other roads visited include the Oso-Owhutu road, among others,” the statement further read.
