The Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, has expressed that President Bola Tinubu's administration has turned numerous states into construction sites due to extensive infrastructure development projects. During an inspection of the Calabar–Ebonyi–Benue–Kogi–Nasarawa–Abuja Superhighway, Umahi highlighted that the President's commitment to inclusive development is evident in the scale of road construction and other initiatives.
The minister urged journalists and stakeholders to accurately convey the impact of these projects, particularly their potential to enhance security, commerce, and economic activities. Umahi pointed out that the completion of the superhighway would connect otherwise distant regions, altering economic relationships and reducing perceived marginalisation of the South-east.
He emphasized the media's role in informing Nigerians about the realities of these developments, rather than perpetuating narratives that may not reflect the ground truth. Umahi's appointment as Minister of Works by Tinubu was described as part of the President's strategy for inclusive governance. The minister also noted that the federal government is undertaking significant infrastructure projects nationwide, not just in the South-east.
The Calabar–Ebonyi–Benue–Kogi–Nasarawa–Abuja Superhighway, which spans around 291.5 kilometres, is undergoing dual carriageway construction and realignment in strategic locations. Additionally, various flyovers and road beautification projects are underway in the Ezza area, benefiting the local population.
