Road Expansion Project: NLNG Unveils Contractor as Chiefs Council Charges Evomec on ‘Exceptional Quality’

In pursuit of its avowal to deliver the road expansion project attached to the Bodo-Bonny Road to the people of Bonny LGA, the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas Limited (NLNG) has unveiled Evomec Global Services Limited (EGSL) as the project implementer.

Presenting the company to the Bonny Chiefs Council (BCC) on Saturday, November 1, 2025 at the King Perekule Palace, Bonny, NLNG’s Head of Engagements, Ifeanyi Umeh, affirmed that Evomec has the technical competence and readiness to execute the project.

Welcoming the NLNG approved vendor, Chairman of the Bonny Chiefs’ Council, Se-Alabo Dagogo Soala Claude-Wilcox, emphasized the significance of the project to the people of Bonny Kingdom.

He noted that Evomec Global Services Limited is a familiar name in Bonny Kingdom, urging the company to “write its name in the sands of time” by delivering a project of exceptional quality.

He pledged the full support and cooperation of the traditional leadership and encouraged the contractor to actively engage with the community throughout the construction process.

The Bonny Kingdom Development Committee (BKDC), which is the coordinating institution for development in the Kingdom, speaking through its Secretary, Dr. Victor Jumbo, described the unveiling as a major milestone in the realization of the expansion project.

He expressed satisfaction that Evomec, one of the vendors recommended by BKDC, was selected, and highlighted the company’s commitment to stakeholder collaboration and timely delivery.

He explained that the unveiling had been delayed for over a year due to BKDC’s rigorous due diligence process, aimed at ensuring alignment between project plans and actual execution, assuring that BKDC will closely monitor construction activities to guarantee adherence to specifications.

Speaking, Director of Finance at Evomec Global Services Ltd, Otonye Idoniboye pledged strict compliance with project specifications and timelines, acknowledging the potential inconveniences to the public.

He appealed for patience and understanding from members of the public, promising to minimize disruptions to daily life in Bonny Kingdom.

Idoniboye asserted that the project has officially commenced with the unveiling complete, explaining that the initial phase involves relocating utility infrastructure along the designated right of way, saying that would be undertaken by the Bonny Utility Company (BUC).

This landmark initiative, which is expected to span 18 to 24 months, is part of NLNG’s corporate social responsibility tied to its Train 7 project, and aims to transform the Bonny Main Road from SPDC (now Renaissance) Gate to Coal Beach, with an additional spur extending from Amaomu Junction to King Perekule Palace.

The upgraded road will expand from its current width of six meters to ten meters and will feature drainage systems on both sides, which will also serve as pedestrian walkways —enhancing accessibility and safety for residents.
