The Minister of Works, Sen. David Umahi, has said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is committed to ending the marginalisation of the South-East through inclusive governance and massive infrastructure development.

Umahi said Tinubu’s decision to appoint him as Minister of Works was deliberate and aimed at advancing the President’s vision for the country, including bringing the South-East closer to the centre of national development.

The minister spoke during an inspection of ongoing work on the Cross River-Ebonyi-Benue-Kogi-Nasarawa-Abuja Superhighway, one of the flagship infrastructure projects of the Tinubu administration.
