Recently it was reported that Akwa Ibom State Governor, Udom Emmanuel has lauded VKS Nigerian Construction for being outstanding as one of the best construction companies in the world owing to its resource capacity, approach to projects, and commitment to the development of the environment they operate.
The Turkish firm is currently handling the construction of the Smart Terminal building at the Victor Attah International Airport, Uyo, and is famed for the 21 smart story building among other key buildings and road constructions in Akwa Ibom.
Speaking while inspecting projects at the airport at the weekend, the governor said VKS is reputed to adhere to and sometimes go beyond procurement demands by not relying totally on government payments before delivering on projects they have signed on to.
“We have never rated VKS low. They are one of the best in the world. When you talk about capacity, it is not just in the ability of civil, electrical, or mechanical engineers to work. It is how friendly the contractors are; friendly in the sense that there are certain contractors that it is only money for hand, back for ground. But here we have a contractor that has the capacity to bring in materials without sitting on your neck to get cash for each item. For the years they have worked, we have seen that VKS has that capacity across the globe to mobilize and also get things done with ease.”
The governor pointed out that the reason his administration has found it comfortable and easy to work with VKS stems from their credible attitude and approach to the contract evidenced in the high quality of their deliverables since they berthed the state.
Governor Emmanuel who expressed delight over the quality and level of work executed by VKS at the terminal building said the structural part of the project is completed, adding that at full completion of the project, the terminal building will stand out as the best in Africa in terms of smartness, functionality, security, safety among variables.
Project Manager, Ziya Sungur, noted that the major structural works at the terminal building have been completed and are left with furnishing with the required fittings for smart operations.
