Kaieteur News- With a $78 million contract already awarded to construct the Maruranau school dormitory in Region Nine, the government is preparing to spend an additional $75 million to build a kitchen and dining hall to complement the dormitory.
The project, which was recently awarded through the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB) office, is being undertaken by the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development.
According to NPTAB, the project has been awarded to Ck Construction & Transportation Services which will also be furnishing the dining hall.
