Umahi praised the President for swiftly approving the release of funds, addressing delays that had arisen due to financial constraints. He expressed gratitude for the President’s intervention, stating, “I want to thank Mr. President, who, about three days ago, approved that work should immediately commence in many sections of the Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano road. We were having some problems with funding, but the president has solved the problem and directed for the immediate release of funds so that the road construction will continue. The same thing with the Lagos-Ibadan highway and the Second Niger bridge bypasses.”

The Minister also commended the proactive efforts of the Benue and Enugu governors in ensuring the smooth progress of the Makurdi-Otukpo-9th mile road project, financed by the China Exim Bank.

It is noteworthy that earlier, Umahi had acknowledged funding challenges hampering the commencement of the construction of the approach roads for the Second Niger Bridge leading to Asaba and Onitsha.
