“COVID-19 which is dangerous pandemic raging across the globe and causing the suspension or stoppage of programmes and projects in many countries will not affect the execution of this flyover contract,” Arc Saleh stressed.
“It is an 18-month contract the execution of which started four months ago, to be completed in June 2021; and it has been made categorically clear to the contractors that there will not be extension of time,” he said.
