Minister of Works, David Umahi
The Minister of Works, David Umahi, has apologised to commuters and residents of Edo and Delta states over the deplorable condition of the Benin-Sapele Road, which has caused untold hardship to the people.
The minister also ordered the arrest of the contractor and concessionaire, as well as others found removing asphalt from federal roads without authorisation.
Umahi offered the apology and issued the directive on Tuesday in Benin during an inspection tour of some major roads in Edo.
