2027: Umahi inaugurates APC infrastructure campaign team

Minister of Works Dave Umahi has officially launched the infrastructure team under the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council for the 2027 elections. As the Deputy Director-General, Infrastructure, Mobilisation and Sensitisation, Umahi announced that the newly formed team would identify, document, and publicize Federal Government infrastructure projects across six geopolitical zones.

Speaking at the inauguration in Abuja, Umahi emphasized the importance of coordinating, communicating, mobilizing, and sensitizing the public about these projects ahead of the presidential election. He stressed that the team's primary responsibility would be to gather comprehensive data on infrastructure developments, not only in the Federal Ministry of Works but also in other Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).

Umahi highlighted the significance of infrastructure development in stimulating economic growth, connecting communities, and creating opportunities. He also praised the Federal Government's adoption of continuous reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) technology in road construction, as it would reduce reliance on imported materials and boost local economic activities.

The Minister urged the new team to ensure accurate and effective dissemination of information on infrastructure projects to the public.
