The Minister of Works, David Umahi, has defended the Federal Government’s investment in road infrastructure, describing President Bola Tinubu’s four legacy highway projects as strategic economic corridors designed to transform agriculture, trade and industrial development across the country.
Umahi also disclosed that the government is constructing what he described as the “longest flyover in Africa” near the Dangote Refinery axis of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway to address anticipated traffic congestion arising from industrial activities around the Lekki Deep Sea Port and the refinery.
The minister spoke on Saturday during the Renewed Hope Media Tour at the site of the ongoing 1.3-kilometre Ndi-Egbe Bridge in Afikpo Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, which links the state to Ugep in Cross River State.
The media tour, organised by the Presidential Communications Team, was designed to showcase projects being implemented under President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda and complementary initiatives by state governments.
