Minister Of Works, Umahi tour round Federal Roads
Minister of Works, Dave Umahi have travelled through some federal roads during a recent project inspection.
He identified procurement processes as a major challenge towards President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s lofty intention.
According to the former Governor, no existing federal road can last up to seven years, he said I shed tears for the kind of pains our people are going through on our road.
He said this during a meeting with contractors from the six geo-political zones at the ministry’s headquarters on Tuesday, in Abuja.
He expressed dismay at how contractors cheat Nigerians with the materials they use to construct roads in the country.
He said he spent 14 hours on the road having started my journey at 10 am and got to Benin City at 2 pm the next day and I was very happy I experienced the pains.
He said President Tinubu had instructed him to travel through all the projects so that I could brief him on my experience and tell him the truth.
