“BENGIS will be generating billions for the state because it is a revenue-yielding programme.
“The programme is sponsored by Access Bank,” he said.
He commended the contractor, whom he said is delivering in consonance with specifications.
He promised to make N500 million available to the contractor to enable him continue working on the project.
