Minister of Works David Umahi has declared that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has finally put an end to decades of failed road projects in the Southeast.
The minister made the assertion at the weekend after an extensive inspection of federal road and bridge projects across the Southeast and South-south regions.
Speaking to reporters in Enugu, Umahi said the President’s intervention had restored hope to a region long plagued by abandoned contracts and poor infrastructure.
“This is a road previous governments abandoned for decades. It is the audacity and determination of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu that is ending this nightmare,” the minister said, referring specifically to the troubled Enugu–Onitsha expressway.
He expressed satisfaction with the quality of work being carried out on the Enugu–Onitsha road by MTN Nigeria and its contractors, describing the progress as encouraging.
“All the nightmares on that road will come to an end under President Tinubu. The Southeast should be grateful because what we have long expected has come to pass,” the minister said.
