The Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, has stated that under President Bola Tinubu, every state in Nigeria has become a construction site. This assertion came during the unveiling of repairs for the Eko, Marine Bridge, and flooded segments of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Sunday. Umahi challenged critics of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, questioning which state had not become a construction zone under the current administration.
He emphasized the progress made on the project, particularly in the Niger Delta region, where the oil industry is based. Notably, the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway has already passed Epe and the second phase, Lot 2, is over 80% completed. Umahi's remarks extend to ongoing projects in Ondo, Akwa Ibom, Ogun, Calabar, and Akwa Ibom, as well as the proposed sections in Bayelsa, Delta, Rivers, and Edo states.
He defended the ambitious nature of the projects under Tinubu's leadership, asserting that the President's vision has seemingly overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges.
