The flyover will serve vehicles and pedestrians coming from Onitsha, Port Harcourt and World Bank areas of the town.
While on a courtesy visit to the traditional ruler of Amawom autonomous community, HRH Eze Ezechikere Peter Njemanze, MSI, Ozuruigbo VI of Owerri, the Head of Operations, Mr Serbastine informed the Royal Father and his Council of their plans to engage the youths from the host communities, as unskilled workforce for the company.
The expatriate, while briefing the royal father of his visit, used the occasion to urge him to recommend youths for employment in certain categories, which he outlined under their unskilled platform.
He stressed that his company would work with the youths, towards achieving the aspiration of Sen. Hope Uzodimma on youth empowerment and his administration’s “Urban Renewal Project.”
