TINUBU CELEBRATES UMAHI ON BIRTHDAY, COMMENDS MINISTER’S HANDS-ON SUPERVISION OF ROAD PROJECTS
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has celebrated Engineer David Umahi, Minister of Works, on his birthday, and commended him for his hands-on supervision of road projects nationwide.
This was contained in a statement issued today, July 25, by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy.
“As a minister, he does not just sit in his office or rely on reports from subordinates. He is constantly on the road, personally monitoring construction work nationwide to ensure compliance with specifications and approvals,” President Tinubu said.
The President described the Minister as one of his outstanding and hardworking appointees, passionate about delivering durable roads and bridges that will last for about a century.
According to the statement, before his appointment as Minister of Works, Engineer Umahi served as Senator representing Ebonyi South Senatorial District. He was also a two-term Governor of Ebonyi State from May 2015 to May 2023, during which the state recorded landmark infrastructural development.
Recognising the Minister’s sustained efforts in delivering durable road infrastructure, President Tinubu commended Engineer Umahi for his passion, dedication to duty, and deep sense of patriotism.
He urged the Minister to accelerate road construction, rehabilitation, and delivery in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda’s objective of improving citizens’ quality of life and boosting economic activity.
President Tinubu celebrated with the Minister, his family, and well-wishers, and wished him good health, wisdom, and renewed strength as he continues to serve the nation.
