Umahi Challenges National Assembly Over Road Project Quality

Governor Umahi of Ebonyi State confronted the National Assembly during a budget defense session, vowing to resign if the Abuja-Kaduna-Kano road project is substandard. He focused on the quality of work and supervision rather than the contractor's background.

Umahi criticized the funding structure of the project and defended the proposed budget of 3.4 trillion naira by the Federal Ministry of Finance, arguing that the current funding method hinders effective project execution.
