Assembly, Senator Echocho invited Tech Engineering Limited to his office for an explanation of the project\u2019s status.<\/p>\n<p>During the meeting, Senator Echocho emphasised the critical importance of this infrastructure development for Kogi State and its people.<\/p>\n<p>He expressed concern over the delay in completing the project, despite its flag-off last year, and sought reasons for the holdup.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Ding, the Managing Director of Tech Engineering Limited, attributed the delay to the kidnapping of their top management staff and threats to their project engineers.<\/p>\n<p>He apologised for the inconvenience caused and committed to resuming work on the project.<\/p>\n<p>Senator Echocho directed Tech Engineering Limited to resume work on the project within the next two weeks, warning of further action if this deadline is not met.<\/p>\n<p>The company has also initiated steps to address the issue of insecurity, including requesting security
