Works Minister, Engr. David Umahi, has said that President Bola Tinubu is committed to developing every part of the country with fairness and equity.
Umahi was responding to Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso’s claim that President Tinubu’s administration is marginalising the North in road infrastructure development, saying it is absolutely false, misleading, and self-serving. He stated that, as Minister of Works, he has verified facts to prove otherwise, adding that the four legacy projects of President Tinubu demonstrate a commitment to fairness and equity.
Umahi disclosed that, in these projects, the North has 52% and the South has 48%. Moreover, ongoing projects in the North include Sokoto-Zamfara-Katsina-Kaduna Road, 275 km dualised, ₦824 billion; Abuja-Kaduna-Kano Road, 350 km dualised, ₦764 billion; BUA Tax Credit Road, 256 km dualised; Jigawa-Katsina-Kano Northern Bypass, 49 km; and other projects in Borno, Kebbi, Benue, and Kogi states.
