 According to her, the minister made the appeal while hosting the management staff of MTN in Abuja.

Umahi commended MTN Nigeria Communication Company for its dedication to the construction of roads across the country under the Tax Credit Scheme.

“I thank MTN for severalongoing laudable road construction projects under the Tax Credit Scheme; we also thank you for your confidence in the country and our government.

The Onitsha-Enugu dual carriageway is a very busy road, and if not the most important in the South East for our people, it is such a commendable engagement by MTN.

“I visited this road last week, and I like what RCC Construction Company is doing.

“I am very satisfied with their work; it is an impeccable measure of construction. I will be very happy if we can engage on the 2nd carriageway.

“I am appealing to you to take on three more projects, and one project that is very key to our people is the Ife-Ondo road; we will be having a powerful engagement with you on how we can start this,” he said.

Earlier, the Managing Director of MTN Nigeria and the Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Karl Olutokun, said a lot of progress had been made since they started.

“Without your tremendous support, we would not have gotten this far. We assure you that we will be satisfactory to you and there will be no financial delay.

“Our commitment to these tremendous projects is a demonstration of our commitment to this nation and the regime, with the value of sustainability for our business, Olutokun said.
