Northern Youths Urges Support For Works Minister

The Concerned Northern All Progressives Congress Youth Forum has enjoined fellow Northerners to support the Minister of Works, Dave Umahi in ongoing road projects in the country.

The Forum’s Chairman, Hon. Suleiman Liba
while speaking at a stakeholders meeting over the weekend also cautioned against any campaign of calumny against the Minister.

At the meeting to discuss the progress of the North under the present government, he said soon all the six geopolitical zones will benefit from the ongoing road rehabilitation in the country.

According to Liba, the minister is one of such detribalized Nigerian who always wants the best for the country irrespective of region and this is very evident in the construction works going on in parts of the North, especially the North-west and North Central adding that adequate measure is already in place for work to commence in every part of the North.

He explained that Umahi holds the interest of the entire North at heart having toured with the minister to the North West and North Central parts of the country hence they should drop the misconception that Umahi is only a Minister for the South.

“The Minister have the North totally in his working plan and if there’s any one to tell you this, that person should be me.

“The Minister was only recently in Benue and massive construction works has commenced there as well, the Minister will still tour every parts and region of the country, so I plead with you all to drop the misconception that H.E. Dave Umahi is only a Minister for the South.”

He further urged the good people of the North to exercise some patience as the good work will get to every region of the country.
