The Governor further admonished the contractors, staff of the Ministry of Infrastructure for Concession, and other professionals working in the Airport site to always insist on quality delivery. He urged them to be consistent and never deviate from quality. “Whatever you are doing, do it very well. Do it in such a way that you will proudly announce it to others tomorrow. “
