Tinubu’s Coastal Highway Project, right direction for the nation – Minister of Works
Minister of Works, David Umahi, has asserted on Thursday in Abuja that President Bola Tinubu’s decision with the ongoing construction of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway was a step in the right direction for the nation.
Reiterating his confidence in the president’s policies and leadership, Umahi praised Bola Tinubu’s decision-making prowess, emphasizing that none of the president’s decisions had ever proven to be a failure.
The Minister of Works made a bold statement in response to media inquiries, reiterating that the President’s critics were merely envious of the president’s outstanding accomplishments.
President Tinubu’s grand vision for the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, which he conceived while serving as a governor some 25 years prior, has been made manifest through divine providence, according to David Umahi.
The Minister said, “There is envy and jealousy. The people who envy him never believe that he can turn around the economy. And it takes God for him to turn around, adding “There’s no decision taken by the president that has ever failed, including this tax reform bills.
“When people stop the suspicion and digest the coastal road project very well, they will know it’s a catalyst for the growth of every state in this country.
“Unfortunately for these people that are talking, it is bare land, no houses are there. Even the Oba of Lagos’ land is affected. And he spoke to the president. The President said, no, Oba, it is for development. So, if Oba can give his empty land, who else?
“Those who are fighting for this land are not even the indigenes of Lagos, even though it doesn’t matter. But you can’t be more Catholic than the Pope.
“I know the woman behind it. There’s nothing she has not been talking about, playing all kinds of politics. But I’m equal to the task; I’m a man of courage. We are constructing the road along her contentious direction and nothing will stop it.”
Umahi also extended his gratitude to the Senate Committee on Works for its unwavering support of the president’s efforts. In a show of camaraderie and solidarity, he commended the committee’s acknowledgment of Tinubu’s progress in improving Nigeria’s infrastructure and economy.
