‘No Ongoing Road Project in Nigeria Will Last Seven Years’ Says Umahi

The Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, says none of the ongoing road projects in the country can last for seven years.

He said this in Abuja Tuesday while meeting with contractors handling federal road projects.

He alleged that contractors cheated Nigerians with the materials used to construct roads.

He described the claims that cement price would hit N9,000 per bag if the government does concrete roads as false and a big campaign of blackmail against him by the cabals in the construction industry.

He also lamented that the blood of road accident victims was on the ministry workers who failed to supervise contracts as expected.
