Julius Berger, the German construction giant was named as the contractor with a 38-month duration, approximately three years from the time of approving the contract by President Jonathan.
A ‘No Objection Certificate’ by the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) was said to have been issued for the contract in demonstration of the administration’s commitment towards a hitch-free and speedy completion of the project as the new edifice would help the EFCC prosecute the war against corruption more effectively.
