Julius Berger has been here the longest and have taken on so many huge jobs for us.
Can we just leave out China of this please?
Honestly Chinese companies should be left out of this project Because they Chinese do not believe in local content.The will virtually bring all the workers from their own country. How will this be beneficial to Nigerians. I would rather prefer Julius Berger who are tested and trusted.
Merit should be the sole criteria!
