The Minister of Works, Engr. Dave Umahi, has been urged to follow the approvals granted by the Federal Executive Council (FEC).
A section of aggrieved contractors of the ministry led by Mr Vitalis Chikwendu accused Umahi, of deliberate attempts to frustrate the realisation of President Bola Tinubu’s renewed hope agenda by stalling the progress of work through non-payment.
Consequently, they appealed to the president to urgently redeploy Umahi, insisting that his short stay as minister has grounded activities in the ministry. “As I talk to you, the directors and other senior staff in the ministry are disenchanted because he is running the ministry like his personal business and has bragged that he would review even contracts awarded by the Federal Executive Council.
“One key sign that we are dealing with a wrong man for the job is his jumping from one state to another pretending to be inspecting federal roads when, in actual fact, he has not gotten briefings on the state of even these roads.”
