We’re finally moving away from roads that fall apart months after launch. Real focus on durable materials means fewer potholes, safer drives, and no wasted funds. Good to see Minister David Umahi building for the next generation, not just the next election
Minister David Umahi vows that inherited concession legalities won't stop the Federal government from fixing the decaying Benin–Asaba route. Relief is coming for commuters.
@FrancisNwaze1 It's reassuring to see this administration taking a firm stance against nonperforming concessionaires instead of hiding behind bureaucratic excuses,Threatening to invoke the law of necessity show that the administration is actively prioritizing citizen welfare,best minister ever
Nigerian roads suffered from neglect. President Tinubu is correcting that legacy building durable,concrete to last 50years. With Engr.David Umahi leading the Ministry of Works,Nigeria is entering a new era of infrastructure This is leadership that deserves time to finish the job
You have to respect how hands on Minister David Umahi is,Instead of waiting on field reports, he's actually out there checking the work himself and pushing contractors to deliver quality roads. A genuinely committed leader and a pride to the South East.
But it is a known fact that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, will win Anambra State by a wide margin in the forthcoming 2027 general election, given his transformational strides across the Southeast and other parts of the country.
Even candidates of other political parties are aware of this reality.
Some of them are not contesting to win, but simply to participate.
The people currently governing us enjoyed free education in the 1960s and '70s, when government fully subsidized schooling. In our generation, even some public schools now charge fees. So if KCOBA plans to take over the school for 35 years, does that mean fees will stay the same, or will they need to raise fees to recoup and profit from the ₦100 billion they're investing?
If a private association can find 100 billion to fix up a public school, why can't the government do the same with the subsidy money it already collects? Instead of handing school infrastructure over to private hands for decades, government should be reinvesting subsidy funds directly into fixing these schools itself.
BREAKING: Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, has ordered the arrest of the Managing Director of Hartland Nigeria Limited over the company’s alleged failure to deliver an 11-kilometer section of the Benin-Onitsha Expressway despite allegedly receiving about ₦14 billion for the project.
@NigeriaStories 14 billion is no small amount, and the Benin-Onitsha Expressway is too important to be left in disrepair while funds sit unaccounted for,it's good as minister David Umahi is taking legal action about this abandon project oo

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FROWNS AT CONTRACTOR HANDLING BENIN - ASABA ROAD OVER INCOMPETENCE
The Federal Government says it is considering terminating the concession agreement for the Benin–Asaba road project over alleged incompetence and slow pace of work.
The Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, gave the indication during an inspection visit to the project site in Benin City.
The Minister’s visit to the Benin–Agbor road bypass was on the directive of President Bola Tinubu.
It followed a recent protest by Edo youths over what they described as the poor handling of the project, which they say has caused untold hardship to road users.
Accompanying the Minister were the Governor of Edo State, Senator Monday Okpebholo, and some members of the National Assembly.
During the inspection, Senator Umahi expressed dissatisfaction with the level and quality of work done by the concessionaire.
He said the Federal Government may have no option but to revoke the contract and re-award it to a more competent company if there is no immediate improvement.
“You are learning how to do construction on our road. I am very disappointed with the concessionaire, but I take full responsibility for the misdeed.” — Umahi speaks during his visit to the Benin–Agbor–Asaba Road on August 25, 2026.
