HONOURABLE MINISTER OF WORKS INSISTS NIGERIAN ROADS MUST LEAD THE ECONOMIC REVOLUTION AGENDA OF PRESIDENT ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU GCFR AS FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CONSTRUCTS A MEGA TWIN FLYOVER TO FREE YEARS OF HEAVY CONGESTION AT EMENE IN ENUGU STATE, TO GIVE IMPETUS TO COMPETITIVE DEVELOPMENT IN SOUTH-EAST.
In his passion to work day and night, workdays and public holidays to meet the desire of Nigerians in having an enduring network of road infrastructure that will stimulate Nigeria's economy, the Honourable Minister of Works, His Excellency, Sen Engr. Nweze David Umahi CON made it today, Sunday, 16/06/2024 to Enugu State to inspect some Federal Government's projects in the State.
This is coming after his marathon inspection visits to some Federal Government's projects in Lagos State, including the ongoing Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway yesterday, where he announced the decision of the Federal Government to reduce the entire corridor of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, from phase two, section two of the coastal route to effective pavement of 55km including the train tracks.
Upon arriving Enugu State, the Honourable Minister visited the ongoing reconstruction of the collapsed New Artisan bridge at Enugu-PH Expressway, Enugu capital city.
He moved to inspect the ongoing construction of a 23-span mega twin flyover bridge at Emene in Enugu State.
This flyover bridge is described as the best thing that never happened to the people of Enugu and neighbouring States until the coming on board of the Renewed Hope administration of President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, who saw the need to decongest the traffic ridden axis of Enugu city to give way to stronger socio-economic competitiveness within the region.
It would be recalled that the road which links to many suburbs within the State and the neighbouring States has for many years been a nightmare for vehicles, some of which ply the route through Benue State to far parts of Northern Nigeria and some others to parts of South-South through Cross River State.
The administration of Mr. President thought it expedient, in keeping with his agenda of robust economic revolution for a sustainable future of our country, to construct for Enugu State a mega twin flyover that will beat the elegance and utility of all flyovers ever built in South-East.
This flyover, when completed, will change the face of Enugu State, attract trade and investment to the State, reduce accident and insecurity, improve safety and increase patronage to the economic facilities, including Airports in Enugu and Ebonyi States, and that of other neighbouring States.
Mr. President means well for Nigeria and is determined to revolutionize the economy through road infrastructure development.
The Honourable Minister has this as a task that must be accomplished. He knows the job. His passion to deliver is unequalled.
