Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, has expressed confidence that the newly appointed Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, would replicate Ebonyi magic in tackling the infrastructural deficiencies in Nigeria.
Ohanaeze made the remark while congratulating Umahi on his ministerial appointment by Tinubu.
In a statement by Ohanaeze’s factional Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, the group citing his track record of infrastructure development, described him as a man of integrity, capacity and a “champion of infrastructural revolution” in Ebonyi State.
The group further urged him to work hard and deliver on the mandate given to him by President Tinubu, in line with the RENEWED HOPE agenda of the Federal Government.
The statement reads, “We are delighted with the appointment of Senator Dave Umahi as Minister of Works by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“Umahi is a man of proven capacity and integrity, and we are confident that he will bring his wealth of experience to bear on the task of fixing Nigeria’s infrastructure.
“Umahi is a champion of infrastructural revolution. During his tenure as governor of Ebonyi State, he transformed the state from a rural State into one of the most developed states in Nigeria.
“He built roads, flyovers, hospitals, schools, and other infrastructure that have improved the lives of the people of Ebonyi.
“We are confident that Umahi will replicate the Ebonyi magic in tackling the infrastructural deficiencies in Nigeria. We urge him to work hard and deliver on the mandate given to him by President Tinubu, in line with the RENEWED HOPE agenda of the Federal Government.”
