However, he acknowledged that his administration’s major challenge was addressing the debts incurred by the previous administration.

Fubara said:

For the records it was awarded to CCECC. It was awarded on the 14th of August by this Administration. As we are going further, we will be going with a white paper to show records and amount. The Project was awarded at the cost of N6.7 billion. I can say boldly that we have paid the contractor completely.

“The purpose of this is to let the would know that if there is one problem this administration has is debt. Most of the projects that are being commissioned they are coming for their balance payment and it running in millions and billions.

“I have said I don’t want to talk. I don’t want to talk because I am part of that system but when you keep pushing me, I will say it so that they will see the yansh of the fowl.

The event was graced by the Governor of Abia State, Alex Otti, who commissioned the project, showcasing the collaborative spirit and commitment to progress in the region.
