@FrancisNwaze1 @SaharaReporters Sahara Reporters always highlights the negatives. This could just be a minor expansion joint issue being blown out of proportion.

Another reason to be grateful to the President of Nigeria, HE Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu. This is Kachia Interchange Bridge, Kaduna Eastern Bypass. If you know the story of this road before now, you will be grateful for what the President is doing through the Minister of Works, Senator Engr. David Umahi, CON. #NigeriaWorks #Tinubu #InfrastructureDevelopment #Umahi #RenewedHope Francis Nwaze

@ennyola0015 Welcome Development

David Umahi, under Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has revolutionized road projects. Before now, road project awards were basically “food for the boys.” Contractors got mobilization funds before even getting to site 🥺 boom, no shovels on the ground. Now, the story is different.

@FrancisNwaze1 Wonderful performance by Honourable minister

@Sistaliano Indeed

This should put an end to the stupid rumours that there is a quarrel between Senator David Nweze Umahi and Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru. 🚫🗣️👀 Senator David Nweze Umahi has officially endorsed the re-election bid of Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru by signing his APC nomination form for a second term. ✍🏾🗳️🇳🇬🔥 Umahi described the endorsement as a matter of fairness, continuity, and political unity, insisting that Ebonyi North should complete its second tenure under the state’s rotational arrangement. 🏛️⚖️🤝🏾 He praised Nwifuru’s leadership, peaceful governance, and commitment to infrastructural and human capital development across the state. 👏🏾🛣️🏗️✨ While signing the form, Umahi pledged his full support for Nwifuru’s 2027 ambition and prayed for a successful re-election, describing the governor’s administration as a symbol of stability, progress, peace, and renewed hope for Ebonyi State. 🙏🏾✅🌍🎉🇳🇬

Minister of Works Dave Umahi has officially handed over the reconstruction of the Carter Bridge to China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation CCECC, while announcing a temporary closure of one carriageway of the Eko Bridge beginning Sunday.

@FrancisNwaze1 Kudos to our performing minister for works

OFFICE OF THE HONOURABLE MINISTER OF WORKS PRESS RELEASE UMAHI HANDS OVER NEW CARTER BRIDGE PROJECT TO CCECC, TO SHUT DOWN ONE CARRIAGEWAY OF EKO BRIDGE ON SUNDAY The Federal Government has officially handed over the construction of a brand-new Carter Bridge in Lagos to China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC), as part of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s commitment to protecting critical infrastructure and ensuring the safety of Nigerians. The event took place at Carter Bridge, Lagos Island, Lagos State, on Wednesday, May 6, 2026. Speaking during the handover ceremony, the Honourable Minister of Works, Senator Engr. David Umahi, CON, said the decision to reconstruct the bridge became necessary after years of alarming structural investigations revealed worsening defects beneath both the Carter Bridge and the 3rd Mainland Bridge. According to the Minister, investigations into the underwater structural elements of the bridges began as far back as 2013, with another assessment carried out in 2019. The reports, he said, showed that the defects were increasing at what experts described as “geometrical progression.” “The past administration commissioned investigation of what was happening with the structural elements below the water, and that was in 2013. And the very disturbing defects were noticed in Carter Bridge and 3rd Mainland Bridge,” Umahi stated. He explained that upon assumption of office, the present administration immediately engaged geologists and specialist divers to conduct further underwater investigations, which confirmed that some piles supporting the bridges had already shifted from their pile caps. “It’s just like the hip of the leg is cut off,” the Minister explained while describing the severity of the damage. Umahi said extensive consultations were held with bridge experts, stakeholders and members of the National Assembly, including foreign professionals, to determine the best solution. Experts, according to him, advised that repairing the Carter Bridge would cost almost twice the amount required to build a completely new structure. Following detailed technical analysis, the Federal Government approved the construction of a new modern bridge. He revealed that part of the new Carter Bridge will feature a world-class cable-stayed design to improve navigation and add aesthetic value to Lagos. “We decided that a section of this Carter Bridge will be a cable bridge. You see the cable bridge we see overseas, very beautiful, and that is to enhance our navigational activities,” he said. The Minister disclosed that the project is expected to last 36 months. He praised President Tinubu for what he described as bold leadership and commitment to infrastructure renewal across the country. “So we are here to commend the president, president of first, president of infrastructure, the president of second tenure,” Umahi declared. The project, valued at N545 billion, will be financed through a combination of Federal Government counterpart funding and external borrowing, with 30 percent to be paid by the Federal Government and 70 percent sourced externally. Umahi further stated that due process was strictly followed in selecting the contractor, noting that seven firms were invited while six submitted bids, including Julius Berger. According to him, CCECC emerged as the most technically and commercially viable company. “The CECC was technically and commercially most viable. And that’s why the BPP recommended them and the Federal Executive Council has awarded the project to them,” he said. Formally handing over the site, the Minister directed the company to immediately mobilize to site while assuring Nigerians that the Ministry would closely monitor the project monthly to ensure compliance with all technical and safety standards.

@sowore @officialABAT Oga focus on your propaganda

Why is someone always filling Tinubu’s @officialabat election forms for him when he isn’t there? Is it so he can distance himself when they fill in his dubious qualifications or lack thereof?
