Umahi Among My Most Outstanding, Hardworking Ministers

President Bola Tinubu has congratulated the Minister of Works, Engr David Umahi, on his birthday saying the minister is one of the most outstanding and hardworking ministers.

Before he was appointed Minister of Works, Engineer Umahi served as the Senator representing Ebonyi South District. He was also a two-term governor of Ebonyi State from May 2015 to May 2023, during which the state recorded landmark infrastructural development.

Recognising the minister’s sustained efforts in delivering durable road infrastructure, President Tinubu in a statement by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, commended Engr Umahi for his passion, dedication to duty, and deep sense of patriotism.

The president urged the minister to accelerate road construction, rehabilitation, and delivery, in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda’s objective of improving citizens’ quality of life and boosting economic activity.

“Engineer Umahi has been one of my outstanding, hardworking ministers – passionate about the job and delivering durable roads and bridges that will last for about a century.

“As a minister, he does not just sit in his office or rely on reports from subordinates; he is constantly on the road, personally monitoring construction work nationwide to ensure compliance with specifications and approvals,” President Tinubu noted.

President Tinubu celebrated with the minister and his family and wishes him good health and renewed strength as he continues to serve the nation.
