This was made known in a statement on Wednesday, June 18, by his media aide, Orji Uchenna.
The road, a key federal highway, is undergoing reconstruction under the Road Infrastructure Development and Refurbishment Investment Tax Credit Scheme. But according to Umahi, Levant simply failed to deliver.
“We even begged the Edo State Governor to fix the worst-hit parts while Levant handled the remaining. While the governor delivered on his 23km stretch for N35bn, Levant abandoned its section,” the minister said.
“They received multiple warning letters, including a final notice, but chose not to return to the site,” he added.
