The Petroleum Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN) has expressed dissatisfaction with the sluggish pace of construction on the Eleme-East West Road by Reynolds Construction Company (RCC), despite receiving N33 billion for the project.
In a press statement on Thursday, PETROAN’s National Public Relations Officer, Dr. Joseph Obele, criticized the delays, calling for expedited action to complete the road.
He said: “The National President of PETROAN, Dr. Billy Gillis Harry, said RCC’s slow pace of work is sabotaging President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s efforts to ensure the smooth distribution of petroleum products from the newly commissioned Port Harcourt refinery. Despite receiving N33 billion from the Federal Ministry of Works.”
PETROAN, in the statement, said that about 60 retail outlets are negatively impacted by the road construction and requested adequate compensation for owners of those filling stations.
