Umahi Expresses Sadness Over Insults to Tinubu

During the launch of the Akwanga-Maiduguri Superhighway project in Nasarawa State, Minister of Works and Housing David Umahi expressed his sadness regarding the insults directed at President Bola Tinubu. Umahi commended Tinubu for his commitment to infrastructure development, describing him as a leader driven by action rather than words.

He announced that the President had approved N111 billion for the first phase of the project, with construction expected to commence within one week. The Akwanga-Maiduguri Superhighway is part of four legacy infrastructure projects initiated by the Tinubu administration, aimed at connecting Nigeria's six geopolitical zones.

Umahi defended the federal government's adoption of reinforced concrete pavement technology for major highways, citing its durability and lower maintenance requirements compared to conventional asphalt roads. He urged Nigerians to reciprocate the administration's efforts with electoral support, emphasizing Tinubu's leadership qualities and the unprecedented nature of the ongoing road projects in Nigeria's history.
