Ahubelem, according to Vanguard told ASSE that his organisation was built on professionalism and is not at risk of that which ails most building contractors in Nigeria.

Ahubelem while speaking to his guest said: “Ours is a company

that believes in standard and professionalism. In Nigeria today, a lot of people find it very difficult to attain quality standard, some don’t even take some time to understand why certain things are done in a particular way. That is why building collapse is now rampant.”
