ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – David Umahi, Minister of Works, has assured Nigerians that President Bola Tinubu will allocate funds for the construction of quality roads across the country.
The former Governor of Ebonyi State gave the assurance on Thursday while featuring on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme.

“We are looking at all these things. How do we cut down costs? Because the primary issue is also the cost of construction.
“I am telling them your profit, I will protect whatever thing you want to make but, let’s help Nigeria, let’s build a road that will last and the funny thing is that the government – the President will give out the money,” Umahi said.
