“Please we need to be sure you guys are keeping to standard, where’s the MD, how many years guaranty are you giving us, at least 10 years because we will not rush for any procurement, years, after the completion of this project, so you must up your game”, the Minister warned the Managing Director of CCECC, David Wang.

On his part, David Wang promised to keep to standard by delivering a hard-surfaced runway that will last longer, he also agreed to the 10-year guarantee which the Minister asked for.
